Warm and comforting chowder is even better with the bright colour and flavour of sweet potatoes and salmon. The touch of lemon brightens the flavour even more. Serve with a slice of whole grain bread and a green salad for a complete meal.

Ingredients

2 tsp vegetable oil 10 mL
onion, finely chopped
clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried dill weed 5 mL
  Pepper  
sweet potato, peeled if desired and cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes (about 2 cups/500 mL)
1 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed) 375 mL
2 cups water 500 mL
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 50 mL
2 cups 1% milk 500 mL
12 oz skinless salmon fillet, cut into chunks 375 g
1 tsp grated lemon zest 5 mL
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 45 mL

Instructions

Step 1
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, dill and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper for about 5 minutes or until onions are softened. Stir in potatoes, corn and water; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender.

Step 2
Increase heat to medium. Whisk flour into milk and gradually stir into pot. Stir in salmon. Simmer, uncovered and stirring often but gently, for about 5 minutes or until salmon is firm and opaque and soup is thickened (do not let boil). Stir in lemon zest and juice and season to taste with pepper. Ladle into warmed bowls.
