    This delicious keto smoked salmon chowder is so quick and easy to make, you will have a healthy low carb dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.

    I’m so excited. And I just can’t hide it. The immortal words of The Pointer Sisters are always a classic, am I right? Really though, Easy Keto Dinners comes out in two weeks today and I am pretty excited about it. Okay, perhaps not quite as excited as I was for The Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen, because that was my first cookbook and I didn’t quite know what to expect. But Easy Keto Dinners is my sophomore release and it’s just such a fun book, I can’t help but be a little eager to get it out on the market.

    How to make Keto Smoked Salmon Chowder

    So to tease you a little and get you in the mood for some tasty low carb, high fat dinner recipes, I thought I’d share one of my favourites. I am not supposed to say that say that because I can’t choose favourites and there are a lot of recipes in this book that I just adore. But this low carb Smoked Salmon Chowder is so simple and it comes together in 20 minutes from start to finish. And it tastes like my all time favourite appetizer, smoked salmon with cream cheese.

    It’s wonderfully fulling and rich, this creamy low carb soup. And while spring is supposedly on her way, there’s still plenty of time for keto comfort food meals like this one. It’s so easy to make that I made a batch on the spot for my camera crew when we were shooting my keto cooking videos, and they all went home with some for dinner. I was kind of sad to see it head out the door but then I remembered that it’s such a quick soup to make, I can really whip it up any old time I want.

      I had some leftover smoked salmon and tried this recipe. I didn’t have any capers but the soup was really good without them. Thanks for sharing!

      Getting ready to make this for the first time and the instructions are confusing:

      #1. says melt butter and add onion and celery with salt and cook until tender
      #2. says add onion and cook until fragrant.

      Should we go with instruction #1?

      Thank you!!

        Guessing #2 should read garlic instead of onion.

      This recipe is fantastic! So versatile too. I doubled it and subbed half the stock for lobster stock and added shrimp to the salmon. Wow!

      How do you make the salmon hot smoked?

        You don’t make it… you buy it. There is cold smoked, which is the thinly sliced nova lox style, and then there is hot-smoked, which is usually a thicker single piece of salmon.

      I’m really disappointed that I can only give five stars for this dish.

      Amazing Soup! I forgot how much I missed the flavor of Lox since going Keto, but that’s a thing I no longer have to worry about. I had sour cream lying around so I used that in lieu of heavy cream FYI, and I don’t think I used Hot Smoked Salmon (I’m not even sure what kind I used, lol). Also, I immersion blended before adding salmon and capers for smoothness. I will be making this as often as I can afford to. Thanks a bunch!

        Darn!! Wish I’d thought of the immersion blender instead of getting the whole glass blender and base out of the back of the pantry! LOL! (Much less washing up, too)
