Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Potatoes
- 2 cups, peeled and diced
- Chicken broth
- 4 cups
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Smoked salmon
- 8 ounces, flaked
- Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and aromatic.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until tender, approximately 15 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the flaked smoked salmon and heavy cream. Add the chopped dill, and season the chowder with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Let the chowder simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors. Avoid boiling after adding the cream to prevent curdling.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh dill for a vibrant touch.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine after sautéing the onions and garlic.
- If you prefer a thicker chowder, mash some of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
- Fresh herbs like chives or parsley can be used as a substitute for dill, depending on your taste preference.
