Ingredients assembled and ready to go, so let’s start making our Salmon Chowder.
Dice the bacon and then fry it until cooked. Not too crispy! Remove from the fry pan and set it aside for a moment.
Dice the potatoes and add to frying pan. Add the garlic and just lightly fry together. Add water, enough to cover the potatoes.
Let the potatoes cook until soft.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt the butter on low to medium heat. Add the flour and whisk the two together well.
Add the milk and mix well. Then add the diced fried bacon. Turn the heat to low.
Cook the potatoes until they are soft, then add to the saucepan. Add the cooking water too. Stir well.
Now add the diced onion, lovage or celery, salt and pepper.
Cover the saucepan and bring the chowder to a low boil. Stir it occasionally, so the chowder does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
Cook for about 30 minutes. Don’t forget to stir it from time to time.
Let the chowder thicken. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Then serve with hearty buns or bread along with a side salad. Enjoy!
