Coho Salmon and Autumn Vegetables Soup with Turmeric

The Coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, (from the Russian кижуч kizhuch) is a species of anadromous fish in the salmon family. Coho salmon are also known as silver salmon or “silvers”.
Ocean caught coho is regarded as excellent table fare. It has a moderate to the high amount of fat, which is considered essential when judging taste. Only Spring Chinook and Sockeye salmon have higher levels of fats in their meat.

    This is absolutely beautiful! I'm severely allergic to fish, so I can't indulge, but I sure wish I could!

    So pretty! Ann, I think this would be equally delicious without the salmon too. I love your addition of turmeric. Can't wait to try this.
