Salmon Chowder

“I was a little skeptical about giving this to my family. They are not really soup eaters, and they are slow to try anything new. Boy, was I surprised when they all loved it. Even my super-picky 7-year-old ate this and loved it. I stirred in a handful of shredded Colby cheese toward the end. What a wonderful chowder. We will definitely eat this again. This has put an end to my searching for recipes for leftover salmon.”

“Really good chowder!Love that it’s so low calorie too.Made it just as written.One word of advice:when measuring the liquid smoke, don’t hold your measuring spoon over the soup pot!I didn’t think about it and had far too much splash out!Tried to retrieve/spoon some out to rectify my mistake. Turned out delicious just the same. Thanks for the recipe.”

“So Yummy! I did add 4 slices of bacon and used uncooked salmon instead of cooked. Thanks you cause I’m not a big salmon fan, but have tons in the freezer since my fiance loves fishing.”

“Looking for a way to use some Salmon, I came across this recipe. Working with pantry items on hand I used sweet red pepper instead of green and a can of white shoepeg corn that I drained, in place of crean style corn. I substituted a cup of frozen mixed veggies for the asparagus and it was delicious ! Thanks for posting.”

“This is absolutely terrific!Having said that, I must confess that I used this as a starting point, and tweaked it quite a bit … I used the basic recipe, using broccoli slaw as the veggie.(I used more onion/celery/pepper/garlic, too, ’cause I wanted a thicker soup.)But then I went a little astray … I used a salmon fillet, two cans of Alaskan salmon, and about 8 ounces of smoked salmon.And then I added two cups my new favorite Zaar recipe — Recipe #113203.I also threw in some Worcestershire sauce and Old Bay seasoning, and two rashers of crisp bacon … and I doubled the dill weed.Made it up this morning so the flavors could blend by tonight, and it’s already fabulous.Thanks so much for posting this!”

“I didn’t have celery available so I used zucchini. I didn’t add corn but only because I am extremely “carb conscious”. I used a little bit of heavy cream and a bit of Wondra. A bit of kosher salt and a Mexican seasoning which is basically salt with a bit of chile in it. It was a great dish and this recipe can be modified to suit whatever veggies you have available. I added a red and a yellow bell pepper and used less potatoes than the recipe called for. This was a great way to use up a chunk of not very good salmon. (I can say this because I live in the Pacific Northwest and there is a huge difference in the quality of the salmon available, depending on the season)”

“I did not want to rate this because I did not follow the directions.I used canned salmon which I love in Alfredo but I felt that home cooked Salmon would have given a much better texture. I didn’t have any smoke flavoring which I think should not have been left out.”

“YUMMY!!! I made some changes though. 2cups potatoes and more of other vegs. I also used frozen peas and frozen corn instead of the creamed. 1/2 cup each. Finally 4tbs. wondra makes it nice an thick like a chowder… Amazing!”

“A very tasty “chowda”.Subbed leftover green beans for the zucchini and used canned salmon instead of fresh.You’re right…it does benefit from the added kick of hot sauce.”

“This chowder was utterly delicous!!It deserves more than the 5 stars – I give it a 10.Hard to believe that something so good is so low in calories.”
