SALMON CHOWDER
This is a recipe I got from my Mother-in-Law. I was at first put off by the fennel, I don't particularly like the taste of anise, but it adds such a pleasant, unique flavor that I'd have really done myself a disservice had I not expanded my palate's horizons. This is now one of my all time favorite soups.
