- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skinless and cubed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- optional fresh parsley for garnish
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add the corn, cream, and cubed salmon to the pot. Stir gently and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
Season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
You can substitute the fresh salmon with canned salmon if needed.
For a slightly thicker chowder, a small amount of cornstarch mixed with cold water can be added before serving.
This chowder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
