A rich and creamy seafood chowder with fresh dill comes together in under an hour for simple and hearty meal.
Hi there! I’m Vanessa and I’m so thrilled to be visiting here at Cheryl’s place today! I’m co-author, along with my sister Heather, of the lifestyle blog At the Picket Fence where we have everything from crafts to DIY projects to yummy recipes like the seafood chowder recipeI’m going to be sharing with you today.
I don’t know about your house, but at ours, fall means it’s time to dig back into some of our favorite soup recipes and this seafood chowderisn’t just a favorite…it is THE favorite!
Here’s the thing though…this isn’t even my recipe. It’s my husband’s! Yep, that’s right, I’ve got a guy who likes to cook and you don’t have to tell me that I struck gold because I already know it! He made this one New Year’s Day a few years ago and I think we might have eaten the entire pot of it in one sitting. Picture me hanging my head in shame!
Over the years he’s played around with the recipe and once he added the smoked salmon we all declared it perfect. I mean, really, can you go wrong with chunks of smoked salmon, shrimp, potatoes and dill? I think not!

Lovely chowder! I love that salmon in it, and the soup looks so nice and creamy. I adore a good chowder on a rainy autumn day.
