Salmon Corn Chowder

July 15, 2014 by Lindsay 28 Comments

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 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.

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:

So simple, right?

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.

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!

    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.

    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 🙂
