Dinner Bell! (a day late...oops)

Sorry, I forgot to post this yesterday! Crazy day full of chaperoning a rainy/cold field trip and going to Harvest/Halloween festivities...;)

But here's a little something to warm you up!

This comes from the kitchen of Becky Griffiths!


Salmon Chowder from the kitchen of Becky Griffiths

1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2-4 cloves garlic
1 cup shredded or diced carrots
2 cups diced sweet (light flesh), red, or russet potatoes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dill (get fresh dried dill from bulk at Winco, don't use the stuff that's been on your shelf since you were married. Unless of course you're a newlywed!)
1 quart chicken broth (should be enough to just cover veggies
2-3 cans salmon OR FRESH, baked salmon(Costco has really nice canned salmon at a good price)
1 can creamed corn
2 cups cream, milk, half 'n half, fat-free evaporated milk, OR fat-free half 'n half (depending on your preference or fat content. The more the merrier in my opinion!)
Sauté the onion, pepper, and celery for roughly 5-10 minutes. Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, dill, carrots, potatoes. Add chicken broth and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until veggies are soft. Add in salmon, corn, and whichever white stuff you decide on and heat until hot.
Great with salad, homemade or store bought crusty bread.

Enjoy!
