I love this salmon chowder recipe. It’s full of goodness of salmon and a lot of vegetables. It’s very easy and quick to cook (well, you do need time to chop all the ingredients :P) and it’s flavoursome. It’s a pretty thick soup and very satisfying. Nothing else but praises from me for this recipe 🙂
