LOW CARB SALMON CHOWDER
For the most part, we live low-carb; I miss chowders and have found that thickening the soup with pureed cauliflower and neufchatel cheese makes a great chowder. This is an easy soup to make; use either fresh cooked salmon, leftovers, canned, or a combination of them. The amount certainly can vary according to what you have. This method includes poaching fresh salmon with the vegetables. If you like, you can substitute carrot for the red pepper. If you want to cut some of the fat, poach the vegetables in stock rather than sauteeing them first.

I've lived on a farm in the Yakima Valley all my life. I have a big garden, and by the end of fall, my cellar shelves are full of canned fruits and vegetables. This recipe uses some of the root vegetables I grow...along with the delicious salmon that is so plentiful here. -Josephine Parton, Granger, Washington
