Photo: Salmon-Vegetable Chowder Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 6 shallots, chopped
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 medium carrots, diced
- Kosher salt
- 1 10-ounce package sliced white mushrooms
- 10 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved (quartered if large)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 3 tablespoons dry white wine or fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 2-inch pieces
- Freshly ground pepper
Directions
Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shallots and half of the dill and cook until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the potatoes, carrots, 4 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Increase the heat to medium high, cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes and carrots are almost tender, about 6 minutes. Add the mushrooms and Brussels sprouts and cook until all of the vegetables are tender, about 6 more minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks, half-and-half and wine in a small bowl.
Reduce the heat to medium low, add the salmon and cook until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently stir in the egg mixture and cook until the soup thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining dill.

I love, love this dish. I make it almost weekly, but vary the veggies that go in. Most times I don't even make it with fish, although with salmon is my favorite. I use what comes in my produce box: kale instead of brussel sprouts works soo well. Last night I made it with some red chard and fennel. It's so yummy and healthy and I love it. I also temper the eggs before stiring them in - nobody likes scrambled eggs in their soup.

This chowder is wonderful. Everyone loved it. With a loaf of crusting bread. It's good for you with the benefits of omega-3 salmon and all those vegetables. Makes great leftovers, as I am finishing it off tonight. (Just don't overcook The only thing I did different was I added 1 knorr vegetable bouillon cube.

As another reviewer mentioned this is a great cold weather dish. It is yummy!! I added a little smoked salmon to the chowder also which was v tasty. I did not have half & half so I used half heavy cream & half milk and it was fine.
