Add the tomatoes and stock or clam broth--increase heat to bring pan to the boil. Then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are softened. Add trout, chili powder and tarragon and simmer until fish begins to flake. Remove pan from heat and stir in half the milk. Allow to cool for 20 minutes. Pour into food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape into clean pan and add remaining milk, cream and sherry. Season with salt and pepper. Reheat soup until hot, pour into bowls and garnish with parsley, arugula or watercress and lemon zest and serve. |
