Salmon Chowder – Using Canned Salmon
Description
Salmon Chowder – Using Canned Salmon begins by sautéing celery, leek, and fennel in butter until tender but not browned, creating a flavorful vegetable base. Fresh herbs such as thyme and bay leaves, along with fennel seeds and salt, are added for aroma and seasoning. Potatoes are then cooked in vegetable stock and tomato juice until tender.
After cooking, canned salmon is stirred in gently to preserve its texture, then cream is added to enrich the soup, producing a creamy, smooth consistency. The soup is heated gently to prevent curdling. Finally, fresh parsley is sprinkled on top as garnish to add freshness.
This chowder is served hot and combines comfort from its creamy broth with the umami from canned salmon and the aromatic vegetables. It’s suitable for a filling lunch or dinner option.
