This Smoked Salmon Chowder is so easy to make and tastes so amazing in the end. You guys, if you live where it’s cold, I feel your pain. WA state has been so cold the past month, soup has been our best friend.

Salmon Chowder in a bowl

Personally, I don’t eat much seafood, but salmon is one of my favorites. Chowder with smoked salmon is a must if you like smoked salmon. A friend of mine at work, who shared this recipe with me, also mentioned that sometimes she adds corn to it; that may also be a great idea.
