Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 leeks (white part only), rinsed well and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 2 medium-size Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cups leftover salmon broken into pieces
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated fat-free milk or lowfat milk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tarragon and cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the potatoes and broth and bring to a simmer. Partially cover the pan and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the salmon and milk and simmer 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from the heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

A very light chowder. The consistency could be made thicker by starting out with a roux and using a milk with a higher fat content, although that may just defeat the purpose of this recipe by adding complexity and more calories.
I omitted leaks because I didn't have any, substituted thyme and parsley for tarragon, and added a can of corn and a good amount of cracked pepper. Still a tasty soup. I will continue to play around with this recipe - a perfect dish for your leftover salmon.

It was tasty but the consistency was more like soup than chowder. It doesn't call for a thickening agent. I substituted dill for tarragon. Probably won't use this recipe next time.

This is a good chowder. Everything tastes fresh and clean. I did make a few changes. 1. I don't like Tarragon so I never use. I used Italian herbs mix as this is what complimented the already oven roasted potatoes and the grilled salmon I had leftover. 2. I used soy milk in place of milk as my daughter is allergic to milk. The reason there are 200 recipes for any one thing is that people have different tastes. If you don't like the flavor of something or you think there isn't enough ADD more spices! Cooking is about making things you like to taste!
