Salmon Chowder

This delicious cheesy potato salmon chowder comes to us courtesy of my sweet friend Diane. She shared her recipe with me so I could in turn, share it with all of you.  Diane suggests serving this chowder with a side of crusty buttered rolls or crackers.  I think it's a delicious twist on fish soup as well as chowder, and makes for a meal that's both filling and satisfying! If you want to add seafood to your dinner rotation but you're looking for a unique way to do so, Diane's salmon chowder just might do the trick.  Serve it with a salad and crusty bread and it becomes a seaside feast.
