This smoked salmon and potato chowder is the perfect meal for a cold winters night!
You’re probably sitting there munching on your celery stick as you’re on day two of your healthy habits and I’m all like…
Hey! Come check out this creamy and decadent chowder recipe! There’s potatoes in it… 🙂
Do you hate me yet? ha! 😉
Seriously though, I had bought smoked salmon for New Years Eve appetizers and had some left over that I didn’t know what to do with.
So I threw it in a soup…and It came out pretty good! 🙂
If you love smoked salmon then you will love this!
Honestly I made it on the lighter side though by substituting cream for low fat milk but I’m calling this a chowder anyway because if I wasn’t trying to eat better I would have made it like a traditional chowder. Which is how I’m going to put the recipe below.
If you follow the recipe, yours will probably come out even creamier than the photos and probably more delicious. 😉
But if you want to make it on the lighter version like I did, than just omit the cream, flour, and butter part. Just pour in some low fat milk instead.
