1½ teaspoon Minced garlic
¾ teaspoon Dried thyme

In a 4-quart pot over medium heat, melt margarine and bacon fat.

Saute 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.
