Directions

1 In medium bowl, pour hot water over mushrooms. Let stand about 20 minutes or until soft. Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid. Rinse with warm water; drain. Squeeze excess moisture from mushrooms. Remove and discard stems; cut caps into 1/2-inch strips.
2 Strain mushroom liquid through fine wire mesh sieve or coffee filter into 4-quart Dutch oven. Stir in broth and garlic. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in orzo; reduce heat. Add salmon. Simmer uncovered about 10 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork. Carefully remove salmon with slotted spatula; keep warm.
3 Stir mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, basil and onions into broth mixture. Cook about 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted and orzo is tender.
4 Place a piece of salmon in each individual bowl; spoon vegetable-orzo broth over top. Sprinkle with cheese.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use a long, thin boning or filleting knife to carefully remove the skin from the salmon fillet. That way, you'll be sure not to serve up any fish scales with the soup!

Serve each bowl with a spoonful of basil pesto atop a toasted small baguette slice.

Doubled this recipe and substituted carrots for mushrooms (for hubby and kids, I ate mushrooms in mine) but used mushroom broth for flavor, this was fabulous! Highly recommend, classy presentation, very simple to prepare. First recipe I tried on my iphone Betty app and I am hooked!

I loved this dish!!! Neither my boyfriend nor I like mushrooms, so I made it without and instead used chicken broth. After you''ve eaten the salmon, the broth w/ spinach, orzo, & peppers makes a nice soup.
