  1. We eat salmon at least twice a week, but it never occured to me to make a chowder with it. I'm so glad I came across this recipe - I have a completely different way to cook salmon now! This was hearty, delicious and healthy. The recipe didn't state when to add the zucchini, so I added it with the potatoes and carrots. I also made half again as much so I could use the whole 12 oz. can of evap. milk and a large can of creamed corn. This is really good served with oyster crackers.
     
  2. This was fantastic !! I used my left over Alfredo sauce from a couple of nights ago instead of the milk which gave it a little more protien from the shrimp and crab meat. No one even knew that there was grated zucchini in this soup..LOL .This soup was so good we all had second servings..
     
  3. I made this to use up some left over salmon AND because I had a husband who is dieting. Fat grams on this are very favorable. This was very good and worthy of eating even not on a diet. Tasty and satisfying.
     
  4. Had a bit of salmon left over from canning. Tried this in the slow cooker and it was great. Came home to a hearty salmon chowder on a rainy Vancouver night. A Real keeper
     
  5. This is a wonderful recipe from Anne Lindsay's Lighthearted Everyday Cooking. It tastes quite rich for such a healthy soup and is one I make often. I sometimes add an extra can of salmon if it will be a main course.
