Hearty Gluten Free Salmon Chowder Recipe | Easy Salmon Recipes

Have you ever ordered food in bulk, then it suddenly hit you that you have so much food and, at some point, that food is going to expire…and at some point, probably before that expiration date, you’ll get sick of the food if you prepare it the same way every time? I have. Recently. And that is how this Hearty Gluten Free Salmon Chowder Recipe came about.

This creamy gluten-free salmon chowder is a fun and delicious twist on classic chowder.

We purchased a large amount of large, frozen fresh-caught salmon filets some time ago. Y’all, these things are huge. One filet feeds our whole family at least twice.

This salmon chowder recipe was created by a stroke of late-night genius. We had baked the filet and eaten our servings for the day, but we had a lot left. I’m not usually a fan of leftover salmon, so I was brainstorming for a way to store it so I would still eat it.

As I went to put the leftovers into the refrigerator, I pictured a warm, hearty bowl of chowder sitting in front of a smiling husband—yummy Gluten Free Chowder made with salmon.

My husband loves chowder. He has family from New England, so he grew up visiting them and eating a lot of clam chowder. Now, I am not personally a clam chowder fan in the slightest. I just haven’t been able to bring myself to eat it (maybe if someone made me a really fresh batch I’d like it), but salmon chowder sounded like something I may actually like…and it turned out so, so good.

I am a huge fan of recipes that are easy, especially easy salmon recipes, because sometimes the recipes you find online can be so complicated. Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with complicated sometimes (as you can probably tell from some of my more exotic recipes), but I usually prefer easy recipes for busy weeknights. This salmon soup recipe is so simple!

This Easy Salmon Chowder is creamy, almost like a lobster bisque, but…dare I say…even better. The vegetables add some delicious flavor and texture.

Directions

Prepare the onion, celery, potato, and carrot and add them to a large frying pan (I love our rock pots and pans set!). Pour in enough chicken broth to cover (about two cans).

Simmer the vegetables and broth mixture on medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Once the vegetables have finished cooking, prepare the roux in a large pot. Melt the butter, then whisk in the flour, milk, and cream over medium heat, until combined—I recommend combining in this order.

Pour the vegetable mixture into the pot of roux while the pot is still on the stovetop.



Stir well. You will want to continue with these next steps quickly, or the chowder may thicken too much for your liking. The longer you cook, the thicker it will get. If you prefer a soupier consistency, remove the pot from the stove after this step and place on a trivet to complete the recipe. If it gets too thick, add a little more milk or chicken broth.

Instructions

  1. In a large frying pan, add the onion, celery, potato, and carrot, then pour in enough chicken broth to cover (about two cans).
  2. Simmer on medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Once the vegetables have cooked, whisk together the butter (melt this first), flour, milk, and cream over medium heat, until combined.
  4. Add the veggies, salmon, seasonings, and vinegar and stir until combined. Cook until the consistency is to your liking, then remove from the heat. The longer you cook, the thicker it will get.

Notes

*I like to use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour. This already has xanthan gum in it. You can use regular all-purpose gluten-free flour if desired, but you may need to add xanthan gum if the consistency is not right. This can also be made with regular flour, if you do not need to use gluten-free flour.

Gluten-free flour can sometimes cause consistency to be thicker, so you may need to add more flour or less milk to get the right consistency with regular flour.

If your chowder thickens too much, stir in some extra milk or chicken broth without adding more heat.

  1. Totally recommend this!
    My husband made this yesterday. It was really good. He did sauté the veggies in a little butter first so they didn’t have to cook so long.
    Also, we had Campbell’s condensed chicken broth which is 10.5 oz per can. He added 4oz water per can used.
    We are used to corn starch vs flour so we were expecting it to be thicker sooner when adding the roux to the broth. It thickened up just fine, we just had to be patient.
    Personally, I don’t like salmon so I tried it without the salmon. It tasted really yummy and could be a base for other things. My husband wants to try it with corn and crab. I think I’d like it with bigger potatoes and carrots and have more of a potato chowder.
    I just need to figure out how to print it to add it to my recipes.

  2. Made this a few nights ago. I’ve actually had this recipe saved for over a year, and finally remembered to try it. Oh my goodness! It was amazing! I made a double batch and it was gone in two days! We ate it for every meal, it was that good lol. Highly recommend! My girls have been begging me to go to the store for ingredients to make it again.
