I'm giving this 5 stars mostly to counteract the low rating of the unbelievable moron below who chose a SMOKED SALMON chowder and rated it low because she thought it would be better WITHOUT SMOKED SALMON. Here's an idea: if you want a vegetarian soup, search for a vegetarian soup.

This was delicious! I didn't have enough onion (only about 1/2 cup), so I substituted red and green bell pepper to make up the difference. Since I'm allergic to mushrooms, I also substituted green peas for those. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly, using tinned smoked sockeye, and it turned out beautifully. I especially like that the vegetables are for the most part sauteed, rather than boiled. It really brings out the flavor of the individual ingredients. My husband can't wait to eat the leftovers for dinner again tonight! Thanks for posting.

This was quite delicious. I made a few small changes, but overall I think the recipe was basically the same. I used the meat of one small whole smoked trout instead of salmon, because the smoked trout was fresh and smoked locally. I used homemade chicken stock instead of canned, and had an herb mixture from Provence that I used -- I don't think it is the traditional "herbes de provence" but it is similar. I loved that this used coconut milk instead of dairy milk, and I used margarine instead of butter, so my whole family could partake. Lovely depth of flavors. Nice soup, Alskann! Thanks!

I was right with you, up unitl to the addition of the smoked salmon. I lived for 11 years in Alaska, so do know my kipperd from others. I loved the dish up unitl the salmon. I even gave it two more chances after that, in case my taste buds were off. The end result does not work. I would make this again, but without the salmon...keep it vegetarian, perhaps

This salmon chowder was excellant; thick, hearty, smooth and chunky and flavourful with a hint of the exotic. The coconut cream was a nice addition, the vegetables were tender and the salmon was complimented by the soup. I didn't use any additional salt and I garnished the finished soup with cinnamon. Good luck in the contest.
