Before you say anything, I know, cold in Chico is nothing compared to cold in Denver, CO for example (I had a layover in that beautiful city over the weekend and yes at 0 degrees, I realize what cold really feels like), but still, it’s a damp 32 degrees this morning and for me, that’s cold! !
To make my long “I’m cold sob story” short; last night I wanted soup to warm us up and I searched around my fridge and pantry for what would work and came up with a delicious salmon chowder using some amazing wild caught salmon filets from our local supplier, Alldrin & Sons Salmon.
In a large soup pot, cook the diced bacon until browned and crispy.
Add the salmon filets to the soup, make sure they are covered with the soup, and let simmer until the filets are easy to break apart.
