I've lived on a farm in the Yakima Valley all my life. I have a big garden, and by the end of fall, my cellar shelves are full of canned fruits and vegetables. This recipe uses some of the root vegetables I grow...along with the delicious salmon that is so plentiful here.

Wow sooo good! 10 stars! I dont` buy chicken broth because it is expencive and not that healfy, I use the bouillon of recipe`s meats ( I don`t viest these bouillons) I put Organic Better That Bouillon it is healthy and for example 6.49 $ for 8 oz in Safeway it is cheaper because lasts longer and you can use your own water from meats that will make your recipe more tasty). I did same with this recipe, I used the water from boiling salmon and add Better that Bouillon there. And potatoes need cook not 40 min but near 10-15 then it will be nearly tender. And I brought to boil the corn, cream and salmon to mix flavor.

This Recipe is elegant and simple, and tastes amazing. My husband is not a fish eater yet asks me for this soup regularly. My whole family loves it.

Can't get enough of this one, especially with the Pike Market fresh salmon.

This was very tasty. I have made it several times this year and everyone has loved it. I did substitute canned evaporated skim milk for the half and half and it worked fine. I also added some frozen corn in addition to the cream style corn so you could see and taste more of the corn. Will definitely keep this recipe.

This was terrific. I did substitute condensed milk for the half and half and added 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne. We all loved it. Thanks for the recipe.

I've collected quite a few soup recipes in the last couple years, and this one is now at the top of my list. It's scrumptious--especially on a cold Michigan fall day!

This was so yummy!! My family begged for more!! I substituted mushrooms for peppers and enjoyed the heartiness that added. Perfect fall/ winter meal!

getting started with it for the holidays! I am planning to substitute fat free evaporated milk (in the can!) instead of the half-and-half. it works well for me in clam chowdah, so i assume it will work here too. :-)
