Yöntemler

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 3 minutes, whisking continually, or until the flour browns lightly and smells nutty. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Slowly cook the bacon in a heavy stockpot over medium heat until the bacon fat is rendered and the bacon begins to crisp. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, galangal and cayenne pepper. Then add in the carrots and celery, stir and sauté until the vegetables become soft.

Stir in the wine and cook until the wine has reduced and absorbed into the veggies. Add the potatoes and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the stock, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves or zest, milk and the cream.

Raise to medium high heat and bring mixture to a low boil. Stir in the roux and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-8 minutes. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

You can cool at this point and save for later, or add the coconut milk and any extra seasonings to taste.

When the soup is hot and creamy, add the chopped fish and simmer for a few minutes until the fish is just done and still tender.
