Chowder of Salmon & Green Peas

Recipe #294206 | 35 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 2 -3 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Shahana

A different take on the usual salmon chowder. Just for looks I suggest using the skinless variety of canned salmon that is available now.

    My first salmon chowder using a can of salmon, I highly recommend this to those who love salmon. We soup lovers marvelled that one can of salmon could make for such a wonderful tasting soup. Other then generously snipping in fresh dill because I didn't have the dried on hand and using a leek because I didn't want to make another trip downstairs to get an onion I made as posted. Soup already started, found I didn't have the green peas - it was perfect as made - but will add some next time around. We all gave this the thumbs up. Only change I will make is to double the recipe- yes it's that good. Had the teenager's brother been at the table I likely would have missed out! Thank you Shahana for sharing this great tasting Salmon Chowder.
