- Olive oil for sautéing
Alright, folks! Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients, it’s time to channel your inner chef. Here’s how we whip up this masterpiece:
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Throw in your chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they’re soft and fragrant. Just try not to eat them raw—they’re better cooked!
- Next, add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it bubble for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. You want them to be mushy enough to make a great chowder but not into mashed potato territory!
- Once those potatoes are ready, it’s time to pour in the heavy cream. Stir it all together like you’re casting a spell. Add the smoked salmon, fresh dill, and lemon juice to the mix. Season with salt and pepper to your heart’s desire.
- Let the chowder simmer for another 5 minutes to let those flavors mingle and become best buddies. Your kitchen will be filled with a smell so good, it might even generate a crowd!
- Finally, ladle that glorious chowder into bowls, serve it up hot, and enjoy every creamy, smoky spoonful! Don’t forget to share (or not) because this chowder deserves the spotlight!
And there you have it! A tantalizing bowl of Seattle-Style Smoked Salmon Chowder that’ll warm your belly and your heart. Time to dig in!
