Instructions
Serve up a bowl of this one-pot Salmon and Rice Chowder when you’re craving something warm, comforting and hearty. For the best results, use our fragrant Minute® Instant Jasmine Rice.
Step 1
Melt butter in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic, thyme and smoked paprika, and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, until slightly softened.
Step 2
Stir in broth and cream; return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in rice; cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until rice is tender.
Step 3
Add salmon; cook for about 1 minute or until salmon is cooked through. Stir in dill.
Recipe Tips
If preferred, substitute trout or any white-fleshed fish, such as cod, haddock or halibut, in place of the salmon.
For a lighter version of this soup, use full-fat coconut milk in place of the heavy cream.
Ensure that your fish is cooked through before removing the chowder from the heat. The salmon flesh will turn light pink and flake easily when cooked.
