Salmon Soup

Confessions - Over the Hedge· Recipes· Soups/Stews/Sauces

My Grandmother made this recipe many times and taught me to make it too.

It is a quick “go to” soup.

I have added a baked chopped potato and carrot for variety, but I still prefer my Grandmother’s original recipe. 

Below is the printable recipe.

Enjoy!

Salmon Soup
This is a soup a lot like a chowder but very easy with few ingredients. Very Midwest!

    Hey Sandy…this would be good on a day like today up there!

    Should I tell you that now the temp down here is in the 80’s?
    No, that would be just cruel…..

    So I will sip on my iced tea with lemon as I sit on the edge of the pool, feet in the water, big floppy hat on my head to shield me from the “snow”..I mean, SUN! 🙂
