Recipe View Serve hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh dill or a swirl of cream, if desired.

For an even richer flavor, use a combination of chicken and fish broth.
If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes before adding the half-and-half.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the paprika.
Smoked salmon can vary in saltiness. Taste the chowder before adding salt and adjust accordingly.
Leftover chowder can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Gently reheat over low heat, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed to thin it out.

    Fantastic recipe! I used vegetable broth to keep it dairy-free and it was still incredibly delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
