Salmon Chowder With Cheese Recipe

Canned salmon is a healthy, inexpensive, and convenient mealtime solution. If you're weary of the everyday salmon croquettes and casseroles, this salmon chowder offers a delicious alternative. The potatoes are cooked and diced ahead of time. If you have leftover boiled potatoes from another meal, so much the better; the chowder will be done in record time And feel free to use canned (drained) peas if you like. If you like corn chowder, replace the peas with whole kernel corn. For extra flavor, add about 1/4 cup of diced onion and 1/4 cup of diced carrot to the saucepan and saute it along with the celery. For a lighter broth, replace 1 cup of the milk with chicken stock or clam juice. Serve this thick and hearty salmon chowder with crackers or crusty rolls and a tossed salad. The chowder takes just minutes to prepare and cook with a simple roux, canned salmon, and cooked vegetables.
