Smoked Salmon Chowder

Recipe #291930 | 35 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Reddyrat

This recipe is great! My husband said it was one of the best soups he'd ever had. I found the recipe in Cookie magazine and adapted it slightly.

Ingredients

  • tablespoon olive oil
  • medium leek, white and light green parts only, rinsed and sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • large russet potato, peeled and cubed
  • stalk celery, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • cups chicken broth
  • tablespoons tomato paste
  • cups milk (skim is fine)
  • ounces smoked salmon, flaked
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • teaspoon dried dill (or fresh dill or chives)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Heat the olive oil in a large pot over low heat. Add the leeks and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
    2. 2
      Add the potato, celery, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    3. 3
      Add the broth and simmer until potato is tender, about 15 minutes.
    4. 4
      Add tomato paste and milk.
    5. 5
      Mash or blend the vegetables to smooth the soup out (I used an immersion blender). It doesn't have to be totally blended, but some mashing or blending is recommended.
    6. 6
      Add the salmon, and bring the mixture back to a simmer for a few minutes (but don't let it boil, or the milk will separate).
    7. 7
      As it simmers, stir in the cream and dill or chives.
