Looking for smoked salmon soup suggestions.

[terez]

I'm looking for veggies that won't compete with the flavor of the smoked salmon. So far, I have

smoked salmon
HWC
low sodium chicken broth
water chestnuts

I don't want to make it a chowder by adding corn, beans, or potatoes, and I'm thinking some pearl onions might be okay, too. And maybe some peeled and seeded cucumbers.

Yet, I want to make it more nutritious than just cream and salmon.

Any suggestions?

I would think that aspargus might be a nice complement- or some spinach.

I'd love a recipe as well. I'm thinking something like a cauliflower/leek soup base, maybe?

Oh, man! I forgot totally about cauliflower. In the soup, it wouldn't compete at all. I suppose I could add other veggies and add liquid smoke, too.

Thanks guys!
