This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste, but it was still a good meal.

This leek and salmon chowder was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the leeks complementing the richness of the salmon. It was also incredibly easy to make, and I loved that I could use my slow cooker. Def
