Izzy's Salmon Chowder
"My famous chowder. I spent some time try to figure out the exact measurements of ingredients; but it's a flexible recipe. Be creative! You can cook this ahead of time (even 2-3 days; just be sure you don't nibble @_@); this soup tastes better with time."

I found this took much longer than 10 minutes to prep. My DH liked this Chowder but I didn't care for it that much. I guess I just prefer a different style. I prefer a light broth type instead of a thick stew. I did make some changes. I used fresh salmon instead of canned, which I think was nicer. And I used salmon broth that I had made, instead of chicken broth which I also liked. It gave the chowder a nice salmon taste. I did like using the fresh corn that was suggested in the recipe. That was a nice touch. And I think I'll use that idea again when I make a different version of Salmon Soup. Just not a chowder next time. -
Absolutely delicious! Getting colder here now and theres nothing I like better than a good hearty soup with crusty bread rolls. I used a tin of whole kernel corn instead of the craem style but other than that follwed the recipe to a T. -
This was such an easy and delicious chowder. I used left over salmon from the other night and used a little more garlic, chicken broth for the water, half-n-half for the milk and fresh corn off the cob...Fabulous!! Thank you for an easy and great tasting dish! -
Excellent flavours but the prep time, for me, is much greater than stated. -
Delicious! I made just a few small changes -- used veggie broth instead of chicken, olive oil instead of butter, frozen niblet corn instead of canned cream style corn. I used a pound of fresh atlantic salmon, cubed, instead of canned fish. I also added just a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up. I don't think any of these changes really altered the chowder as a whole. It was divine. Thanks, Izzy.

This was hearty and tasty. I used dried dill weed and Cajun seasoning in place of the salt. I also used a piece of fresh salmon instead of canned. The chowder didn't taste fishy at all. I think this recipe could benefit from a little added kick or flavor. Thanks Izzy.

I too found that it took a little longer to make than I had anticipated. Must be from all of the chopping required. But...It turned out quite good. I substituted the canned salmon for fresh cubed salmon,halibut & small scallops. It made more of a seafood chowder that was quite yummy.
