RECIPE BY Cooking Light

The fish, used in place of the bacon often found in traditional chowder recipes, adds heart-healthy fats and protein. Great made ahead, this soup gets better with time.

  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups cubed peeled baking potato
  • 3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels

a delicious chowder, nice way to use hot-smoked salmon. fast and easy, one can make a batch in just a few minutes. i think next time i will try frozen or canned corn to make it even easier.

This is a lovely, savory chowder. I always double the batch every time I make it.

i've made this several times and think it's delicious the smoked salmon really is a great substitute for bacon! I think next time i'm going to add some roasted new mexican hatch chilis to give it some spice.

One little ingredient made all the difference with this recipe: Old Bay seasoning. I put a couple teaspoons in and it made the soup outstanding.
