used leek and celeriac in place of onion and potato, also added some sweetcorn, delish, went down well with hubby and fussy 14 yr old!

This is possibly the nicest recipe for chowder I've ever made. The first time I made it I kept strictly to the recipe, and the second time I had 250ml of cream to use up, so added it with the milk. Both tasted gorgeous.
Will definitely make it again and again.

I do like a nice chowder but actually wasn't convinced that this simple and non creamy one could be any good. Trusted the ratings though and am pleasantly surprised: it is indeed simple in the meaning of "no fuss" but absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!

This was very nice, I want to give it 4.5 stars! Only downside was that I found it a little thin. Perhaps I did not cook the potatoes for long enough, they were very soft, but are we aiming for completely falling apart ? I feel that it would have been better had I mashed the potatoes up a little before adding the salmon. Will make again though. My OH loved it.

Made this chowder twice noe. The second time one of my guests was allergic to potatoes so made this with sweet potato. It worked really well.
It is ideal for supper on a cold night with crusty bread.

Very nice indeed. Made this last night for my boyfriend who is not a big fish fan and he loved it. We finished the whole pot. Would definitely make again.

Great recipe for those cold winter days, a nice change from my regular veggie stewy kinda soups! I add a touch of coconut milk, a pinch of chili flakes and then a squeeze of lime juice to serve to add a thai twist to it - jazzes the whole thing up to make it even more tasty!

Simple, quick and very tasty - use the salmon off cuts that supermarkets sell and it's not an expensive dish.

This is SO delicious and really easy to make. Everyone I've made it for asks for the recipe.

This is really is a top recipe - it's super quick to make and produces a lovely, sophisticated dish that you could treat yourself to mid-week (so quick to make!) or serve to friends.

I definitely agree with fstoney (above) that a liberal approach to lemon works brilliantly.

Yet another brilliant olive recipe.

I thought this was brilliant!! I would definitely recommend putting in that extra half-lemon at the end, even if you don't particularly like the taste of lemons - it adds such a fresh touch to the whole dish, changes it dramatically!! Thanks olive for this!!
