If you are looking for a hearty and healthy fish chowder, this is it! Serve a big bowl of Smoked Salmon Chowder along with thick slices of bread or buns and a side salad.
With the classic flavors of smoked salmon, bacon, and potatoes, this chowder is bursting with flavor. You can use canned salmon for this recipe, if you are unable to find smoked salmon.
A chowder is a soup that is thickened, often by using a roux, although sometimes the soup is thickened by crushed crackers.
Adding a bay leaf (or two) adds a wonderful flavor to this chowder. The bay leaves always should be removed before serving, as they are not meant to be eaten; they simply add flavor while cooking.
Begin by frying the diced bacon in a fry pan, but don't cook long enough to make it crispy. You want the bacon to still be soft.
Add the diced potatoes and garlic to the pan, and enough water to cover the potatoes. Cook until potatoes are soft.
While the potatoes are cooking, make the roux in a large saucepan.
Add the entire contents of the frying pan (bacon, potatoes, garlic and the cooking water) to the saucepan with the roux.
Mix well, then add the remaining ingredients.
Turn stove heat down to low and cover the saucepan. Let is cook for about 30 minutes, until the chowder has thickened.
Stir every 10 minutes while cooking. Enjoy!
