Description

This Salmon Chowder Soup is a creamy, comforting dish that’s packed with tender potatoes, flaky salmon, and a rich, flavorful broth. Perfect for chilly days, this soup is hearty and satisfying while being easy to make!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp butter (for sautéing and richness)
  • 1 medium onion, diced (adds sweetness and depth)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (for aromatic flavor)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for thickening the soup)
  • 3 cups chicken stock (for a flavorful base)
  • 3 medium golden potatoes, cubed (for heartiness)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 oz salmon fillets, skinless (for tender, flaky protein)
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream (for creaminess)
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (optional, for a fresh, herby finish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics:
    • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the diced onion and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
  2. Thicken the Soup:
    • Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
    • Gradually add the chicken stock, stirring continuously to create a smooth, thickened base.
  3. Cook the Potatoes:
    • Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
    • Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Add the Salmon and Cream:
    • Gently place the salmon fillets into the pot.
    • Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
    • Break the salmon into bite-sized pieces using a spoon or fork.
  5. Season and Serve:
    • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
    • If desired, sprinkle with fresh dill before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Double the recipe for larger gatherings—this soup is always a hit!
