NORTHWEST SALMON CHOWDER
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. -Josephine Parton, Granger, Washington

SEATTLE SEAFOOD CHOWDER
I found a basic recipe for a seafood chowder in one of my Seattle cookbooks. I have since added ingredients and changed amounts through the years. This recipe is the total of my experimentation. The flexibility of the recipe is great. You may use 1 lb of any assorted shellfish that is in season, to replace the shrimp and scallops. Or sub another pound of white fish or salmon if you choose. It is so versatile. It makes a nice big pot of a winter hardy chowder. It freezes well, for quick dinners another night. (if freezing do not add potatoes until you reheat the soup) It is best when you garnish the soup with oyster crackers or croutons. A wonderful meal on a cold Minnesota winters night!
