Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for a few minutes.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
5. While the vegetables are cooking, season the salmon chunks with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
6. In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat.
7. Add the seasoned salmon chunks to the pan and cook until they are lightly browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
8. Once the vegetables are tender, use a blender or immersion blender to puree about half of the soup. This will help thicken the chowder.
9. Return the pureed soup to the pot and add the cooked salmon chunks.
10. Stir in the heavy cream and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
11. Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
12. Serve the salmon chowder hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
