Salmon Chowder
The flavor of this salmon chowder recipe is greatly enhanced by adding either fresh dill or dried tarragon: each herb lends its own distinctive flavor to the soup. To give this soup a thick, chowder texture, we use instant mashed potatoes, which eliminates the need for heavy cream or butter. Leftover mashed potatoes work too, but give a slightly less-velvety texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
- ⅓ cup chopped carrot
- ⅓ cup chopped celery
- 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1½ cups water
- 1 12-ounce skinned salmon fillet, preferably wild-caught (see note and tip)
- 2 1/2 cups frozen cauliflower florets, thawed and coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallions, or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried chives
- 1 1/3 cups instant mashed potato flakes (see note), or 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add carrot and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables just begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broth, water, salmon, cauliflower and chives (or scallions) and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, maintaining a gentle simmer, until the salmon is just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the salmon to a clean cutting board. Flake into bite-size pieces with a fork.
- Stir potato flakes (or leftover mashed potatoes), dill (or tarragon) and mustard into the soup until well blended. Return to a simmer. Add the salmon and reheat. Season with salt and pepper.
