This really was a fabulous dish, I made it Superbowl Sunday with homemade Naan, yum yum! I changed up things a bit. Since I don't eat bacon I added Jalapeño instead of bacon and I added smoked gouda at the end. I also used three different onions when making the shell stock. I will be making this again for sure.

OK ..I mixed some of the components from both chowders in this throwdown. I chose this broth, Bobby's roasted potatoes (tossed the potatoes in the rendered bacon fat first and I used 1lb of smoked salmon and I pan seared 1lb steel head salmon. I also made the multigrain croutons with a wine glaze (yummy! even though I quadrupled the celery amount called for in this dish, it still got lost. after all of that, it is the best chowder I ever remember having. I like the lighter broth, and chunky potatoes and salmon....delish!

we liked it but didn't love it. I think the issue is personal taste: not a fan of thyme and the thyme flavor did really come through. I think I will make it again and make an adjustment for "personal taste" and use dill instead as I like dill with salmon better.
