This Salmon Corn Chowder is a light, simple soup that’s packed with vegetables. Enjoy it for lunch or dinner even on a hot summer day.
Hi Friends!
Time for another recipe refresher! This Salmon Corn Chowder was literally one of the very first recipes I published on my blog when I started it almost 4 years ago. That was way back before I knew the importance of post titles and I thought I was being so clever titling it “Doing The Chowder Cha Cha”. Yeah…kinda embarrassing 🙂
Anyways, I love making this recipe in the summer and when I noticed yesterday that I just so happened to have some salmon thawing in the fridge, plus lots of corn, I knew we were due for another batch.
This recipe is the perfect way to use up all your favorite summer produce! I tend to use zucchini, carrots, peppers, celery, potatoes and corn but feel free to use whatever you have on hand!
Here’s the recipe:
PrintSalmon Corn Chowder
A light chowder that’s perfect for all your summer vegetables
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed vegetables (peppers, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, celery, etc)
- 1 cup corn kernals
- 1 pound salmon, cooked and flaked
- 1 quart broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- fresh black pepper
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, saute the vegetable (except the corn and zucchini if you’re using it) for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until veggies reach desired tenderness.
- Stir in milk, salmon, corn & zucchini and heat through.
- Add seasonings, taste and adjust accordingly.
So simple, right?
Typically I used white potatoes, but sweet potato was all I had on hand this time.
I use skim milk for this recipe, but if you want it to be more chowder-like, try 2% or whole. You can also add a little less broth and more milk to play with the ratio until you’re satisfied.
I don’t put a ton of Old Bay in the large pot since it’s pretty high in sodium, but I do love to add a little sprinkle to each bowl as it’s served for more flavor!
Enjoy!

Wow, this looks and sounds amazing. Super simple too! I love salmon. Thanks for sharing!
Fact: I cannot say “chowder” without a lame New England fake accent. LOL!
I LOVE chowder and love the idea to add salmon to it- Delicious! Too much sodium? NEVER! 😉
Fabulous! So easy to make dairy free too with almond milk!
Salmon, sweet potatoes and corn! Yes please! Although I will try with almond milk and see if it works- fingers crossed!

Ooh my husband likes clam chowder…maybe he’d like this?! I’m always looking for new ways to cook salmon.

Perfect blend of ingredients for summer soup!
This makes me laugh – I think your post title was cute but I totally feel your pain from the first blog posts to now.
The recipe still sounds yummy and SO simple! Can’t wait to try
haha right?! I had SO many corny post titles when i first started!
I love a good corn chowder and adding Salmon sounds so delicious. I can imagine the salty, briney flavor it would add–perfect with with sweet, snappy corn! Yum!!
A summer must try! We have fresh Jersey corn coming into season very soon, looks like I will make your soup because we also love salmon (a great combo). YUM.
Hope you love it Mary!
What an easy recipe! The next time I have some leftover salmon I’ll remember this!
yes! it’s perfect for leftovers!
I don’t eat fish but I could maybe try just a veggie version with just corn. Sounds like a great recipe for an easy weeknight dinner 🙂
yes! or maybe add some tofu or beans or something! yum!
I adore salmon, and eat it daily pretty much, but I always eat it the same way and forget that it tastes so flipping good in stews like this!!! 🙂 YUM !
