This Salmon Chowder is hearty, healthy, and easy to make! It comes together in 30 minutes and will quickly become a family staple.

My family made this recipe often, especially when we had leftover salmon! Instead of throwing out any leftover salmon, save it for this soup — it works perfectly. Or, you can also use canned salmon! I often use canned salmon and it works perfectly. Most canned salmon has the bones still in, so I like to clear the bones before adding it to the soup, but you do you! Trader Joe’s has a great canned salmon, but any brand will work.

I feel like salmon chowder isn’t super common? But I am allergic to shellfish, so I think salmon chowder was my clam chowder replacement! Either way, this salmon chowder is incredibly flavorful and you’ve got to try it!
