Preparation / Directions:
In a 4-quart pot over medium heat, melt margarine and bacon fat. Sauté the onion, celery, potatoes, garlic, thyme, tarragon and dill weed until the onions are translucent.
Reduce heat and add the flour and paprika, blending well. Stir in the fish stock. Add the smoked salmon, bay leaf, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, pepper, salt and wine.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in half-and-half and parsley. Serve.
Note: Fish stock can be made following the directions in many basic cookbooks, or it can be purchased frozen from Pastaworks or other specialty food stores, or in packets of dried soup mix in the supermarket.
