Smoked Salmon Chowder is a rich and creamy soup combining smoky salmon, potatoes, corn, and a velvety broth. Perfect for colder weather, this hearty dish is quick to make and a crowd-pleaser for cozy dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, flaked
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill, chopped (optional for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for added brightness)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in diced potatoes and corn, then pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  • Add heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine.
  • Flake smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add to the chowder. Stir to incorporate.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice (optional).
  • Simmer for an additional 5 minutes for flavors to meld.
  • Ladle into bowls, garnish with dill if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the smoked salmon and use vegetable broth.
  • Feel free to add diced carrots, celery, or leeks for added flavor.
  • To spice it up, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • Leftover chowder can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
