Excellent thick & creamy chowder! I did alter the recipe a little. I fried 3 slices of bacon & used the bacon fat & a TB of butter to saute the onions,celery & 1 clove of garlic while the lge sauce pan boiled the potatoes & carrots. I drained & saved the potato water & added all the vegetables together in the saucepan. I added 1 cup of potato water back in w/the 2 cups of chicken broth & let the vegetables simmer together. I had 2 leftover halibut steaks that I added to the small can of salmon & tore into small pieces & also crumbled the 3 bacon slices. Served w/sour dough bread & fruit. Very filling & oh,so good! Thanks,Gigi! And,thanks to Arctic Mama for serving it to her Hoosier family!

This was a great and quick dinner! I did use evaporated skim milk, left out the celery (didn't have any) and used fresh garlic instead of garlic powder and fresh cooked steelhead instead of canned salmon. I also sauted the onions and garlic in olive oil instead of butter and left the salt out. It was FABULOUS!! Definitely will be making again!

I've made this recipe many times..for friends and tomorrow I'll be making it for a party..it's a keeper, it's also so easy and quick! I too agree that the serving size is probably more like 5/6.

My salmon chowder recipe! I used frozen cubed hash brown potatoes to save time and it works very well. Different cheeses work well, use what you've got.

Halved the salt, used nonfat evaporated milk, and eliminated the cheese. My god, this was so good! Hoping it freezes well...

I needed a quick supper and happened to have everything I needed to try this soup. It is fabulous! I only substituted a little: fresh garlic, almond milk, and tarragon (which I had on hand and goes so well with fish). I will definitely be making this every winter 2-3 times or more!

Amazing and very easy. Made some subs due to allergies. Subbed plain Silk soy milk for cow's milk, Trader Joe's shredded soy cheese for real cheese, regular corn instead of cream of corn, soy marg for regular marg, shallots for onions. Also, added 1/2 c. sake. Very rich flavor. I probably can not freeze my version because I used soy milk though....

A new family favorite! Easy to make and most of the ingredients were already in my pantry. I didn't have any corn so used some green beans instead. I also used minced garlic instead of the powder because I'm a garlic fanatic. Those were the only changes and we absolutely loved it. My son rarely goes back for seconds, and this time he went back for THIRDS! I had to cut him off because we wanted leftovers for the next day. Thank you, Gigi!

This was very good. I used frozen salmon patties that were left over from a previous dinner and frozen corn. I also subbed sharp white cheddar for Velveeta, as it was what I had on hand. I will make this again!
