Fish Stew With Salmon and Vegetables

Due to the hot and humid weather, I've been trying to stay away from the kitchen. To make thing easy and life comfortable, I cooked this Fish Stew with Salmon and Vegetable soup which paired well with bread for our lunch. The meal was quite a filling with the addition of potatoes and you needn't to boil the salmon at all. All you have to do is to just let the salmon soak in the hot soup for a good few minutes till it is done and you'll be able to enjoy a delicious comfortable and healthy meal. You can also prepare the vegetable soup first and boil it up before adding the salmon into it.
