Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Salmon, cut into chunks
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
- ¼ cup Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Dice the Yukon Gold potatoes, slice the carrots, chop the onion and garlic, and cut the salmon into bite-sized chunks. Wash and finely chop the fresh dill.
Cooking the Base
- In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid burning the garlic.
Adding Vegetables
- Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
Pouring in the Broth
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and raise the heat to bring it to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
Adding Salmon
- Add the salmon chunks to the pot, gently stir, and let cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
Mixing in Cream and Dill
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and chopped fresh dill. Cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Season to Taste
- Taste the chowder and season it with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Serving
- Ladle the chowder into bowls and optionally garnish with fresh dill or a splash of cream. Serve hot.
Notes
For a thicker chowder, mash a portion of the potatoes before adding the cream. You can customize the flavors with additional herbs or vegetables.
