Ingredients

• 1 lb salmon fillets
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 2 celery stalks
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Thinly slice the celery and carrots. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Place the potatoes, celery, carrots, onion, and garlic into the slow cooker. Add the chicken or vegetable broth and stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the bay leaves for added flavor.

Step 4

Cut the salmon into bite-sized chunks, removing any skin or pin bones. Set aside for later use.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the vegetable mixture on low heat for 3 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

After 3 hours, remove the bay leaves and add the salmon chunks and frozen corn to the slow cooker.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to combine. Cook for an additional 1 hour on low heat, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Before serving, stir in the unsalted butter to add richness and a glossy finish. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy your creamy Slow Cooker Salmon Chowder with crusty bread or crackers on the side!
