The first chill in the air means chowder on the stove. The is a perfect dinner for cold nights, and it makes a lot so we’re always able to invite an extra guest to our table. It’s creamy, flavorful, and hearty. Canned salmon can be replaced with fresh filet, however it’s so easy to find wild-caught Alaskan salmon on the shelves that it’s hard to pass up the convenience and cost of canned.
