Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned salmon
- 3 cups Baby potatoes (or diced Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 1.5 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 1 cup Carrot, diced
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced celery, and diced carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes until they become fork-tender.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the canned salmon (including its liquid), frozen corn, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Add the heavy cream to the pot and stir well. Allow the chowder to heat through for about 5 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the pot from the heat.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
