Salmon Chowder

This is one of my favourite soups. It is easy to make, super filling and it is full of omega 3s.  It is not exactly under 30 min recipe but if you do a bigger portion you can freeze it well and have it served on your table in few min.

10 min prepation time

30-40 min cooking time

  1. Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, until the bacon fat is released, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add onion, dill, bay leaf, black pepper, and cayenne and cook until the bacon is barely crispy, about 10 more minutes.
  3. Add the celery, turnips or cauliflower and chicken broth and simmer until the vegetables are almost tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Add salmon chunks and the juices and simmer a few more minutes to heat through.
  5. Stir in the coconut milk. Bring to a slow boil, then simmer over low heat for a few minutes. Remove bay leaf.
