Salmon Chowder

I made this the other night for dinner for me and my husband or my "man chowder" as my brother would refer to him when we were dating/engaged. This recipe is delicious, found on allrecipes.com (as well as the picture).

Salmon Chowder

3 Tbsp butter

3/4 c chopped onion

1/2 c chopped celery

1/2 c chopped red pepper (not in the actual recipe, but I had it on hand)

1 tsp garlic powder

2 c diced potatoes

2 carrots, diced

2 c chicken broth

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp dill weed (or tarragon as a substitutes)

2 (16 oz) cans salmon (I used fresh salmon that I baked before)

1 can evaporated milk

1 can creamed corn

1/2 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded

1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion, celery, red pepper and garlic powder until onions are tender. Stir in potatoes, carrots, broth, salt, pepper and dill. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

2. Stir in salon, evaporated milk, corn and cheese. Cook until heated through.

I added a little more broth at the beginning because I had extra potatoes and extra veggies. At the end I also added a little flour to make it a little thicker.
