Smoked Salmon Chowder Recipe

Ingredients:

• 8 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 cup onion, finely diced
• 8 ounces of Alaska Smokehouse Smoked Salmon
• 2 tablespoons of margarine
• 4 medium potatoes, cooked and cut in bite sized chunks
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup light cream
• salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

1.  Pour eight cups of chicken or vegetable stock in a large saucepan and begin to heat it up.
2.  Heat on low for five minutes and then turn your burner to medium so that you slowly bring the stock to temperature.
3.  In a separate large pan, melt the margarine and sauté diced onions until they are translucent.
4.  Add flour to the melted margarine and stir continuously for 5 minutes.

Increase heat on stock to medium-high, and with a wire whisk, add flour, margarine and onion mixture to the liquid. Stir constantly, breaking up any lumps that form. Add Alaska Smokehouse Smoked Salmon and stir. Add potato chunks, milk, cream, and salt and pepper to taste, and continue stirring. Decrease heat to medium-low, and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning or sticking.
