Description
A rich and creamy salmon chowder that warms the soul with omega-3 fatty acids and a delightful blend of fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh Salmon Fillet, chopped
- 2 Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes, diced
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 2 Celery Stalks, diced
- 2 Carrots, diced
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken or Fish Stock
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- Fresh Dill, for garnish
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and chop the salmon, potatoes, onion, celery, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots, sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the Potatoes: Mix in the diced potatoes to soak up the flavors from the sautéed vegetables.
- Pour in the Stock: Add chicken or fish stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Incorporate the Salmon: Gently fold in the fresh salmon and cook for about 5 minutes until it flakes easily.
- Add Cream and Season: Lower heat and stir in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add fresh dill if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with additional dill, and serve hot, optionally with crusty bread.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with almond or soy milk and for lower-carb options, consider using cauliflower instead of potatoes.
