Salmon Soup
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!

This is a soup a lot like a chowder but very easy with few ingredients. Very Midwest!
Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce can of pink or red salmon (picked)
- 3 cups milk scalded in saucepan
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Bring milk to a scald in a heavy saucepan
- Pick the salmon by removing all the bones
- Flake the salmon with a fork into small pieces
- Add salmon pieces to milk
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes
- Thicken if desired with 1 tablespoon corn starch or flour into 1/2 cup cold water, Stir into simmering soup!
- Last add 2 tablespoons of butter and let melt
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately
Notes
- My Grandmother made this Salmon Soup regularly and we all loved it. I make it frequently as a quick soup on a cold day.
- I have made many variations of this recipe such as adding a chopped cooked potato or carrot. However, I still prefer the simplicity of the original.

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! 🙂
I love easy recipes like this. Yay, that makes two I can do.
