Smoked Salmon Chowder














This is one of my favorite things to make and to eat!

1 cup leeks, diced (about 1 large leek)

1 T. garlic, minced
1/2 t. fresh dill
1 T. olive oil
2 cups yukon gold potatoes, diced
2 T. all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 T. capers with brine
1 T. fresh lemon juice
2 cups skim milk
1/2 cup low-fat heavy cream
2 T. chopped fresh dill, divided
4 oz. cold-smoked salmon, chopped.
Salt and pepper to taste


Sweat leaks, garlic, and dill in oil in a large pot over medium heat until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes and flour; cook 1 minute more.

Add broth, capers, and 1 T. lemon juice; stir until smooth. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Add milk, cream, 1 T. fresh dill, and smoked salmon. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
