Food For Thought Thursdays - Salmon Vegetable Chowder


I'm doing this for Food For Thought Thursdays!  Please join us.

I made this Salmon Vegetable Chowder this week, a favourite of mine. Wouldn't you know I seem to have lost the recipe. This must be the devastating result of de-cluttering and tidying up! Luckily the recipe is fresh in my mind as I made it so recently. I had posted it awhile back but the link seems to also be gone now.  I think it was from the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Here it is from memory:

1 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder (or can use a couple of fresh cloves, minced)
1c mixed vegetables (I use frozen)
1c chopped potatoes
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp pepper
salt to taste

1c low sodium chicken broth
1 salmon fillet cut into chunks (I've used canned salmon too)
1 tbs olive or canola oil
1c shredded cheese
2c milk

Saute onion, garlic until soft. Add basil, thyme, pepper. Add broth, mixed vegetables, potatoes and simmer until
cooked. Add milk, salmon, do not boil. When salmon is cooked add cheese. Enjoy!

This looks like a good recipe. I have 2 salmon filets thawing in the fridge, so I'll make the chowder tonight.

I have not tried chowder with salmon before, and this sounds delicious.

Your recipe is simple enough for me to try and make this. Thanks for sharing.
