Ingredients

10 slices bacon, chopped
2 large onions, finely chopped
4 stalks celery, finely chopped

⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup water
6 cups fish stock

5 cups milk
¾ cup white wine

Steps:

Place the bacon into a large pot set over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes to release some of the drippings, then add the onions and celery. Cook and stir until bacon is crisp and onions and celery are tender.

Tips:

Use the right kind of salmon: Fresh or frozen salmon will work, but smoked salmon adds a delicious smoky flavor.
Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality one. A homemade broth is always best, but you can also use a good quality store-bought broth.
Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the chowder. Common vegetables used in salmon chowder include potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion.
Season to taste: Season the chowder with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to overseason the chowder, as the smoked salmon can be quite salty.
Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Chowder is a hearty and filling soup, so it's perfect to serve with crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Summer smoked salmon chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a summer meal. It's packed with flavor from the smoked salmon, vegetables, and broth. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
