Instant Pot Salmon Chowder With Canned Salmon

Instant Pot Salmon Chowder With Canned Salmon
Get the recipe: howtomakedinne...
This Instant Pot Salmon Chowder with Canned Salmon is my favourite soup right now. It's currently the middle of February, so it's chilly outside, and I'm craving hearty comfort food. This chowder is right up my alley because it's super hearty, really quick and easy to make, and uses canned salmon, which means I usually have all the ingredients I need on hand.
Hey! Thanks for watching!
I'm Paula. I'm a former professional cook and overall eating enthusiast.
I started this channel because I love making dinner and I love eating dinner.. but mostly it's because all I've ever wanted in life is to have my own cooking show. When I didn't get a callback after submitting my tape to Food Network in 2003, I put that dream to rest for a while. That is until I clued in that I can do it myself on KZbin!
I love sharing the tips I've learned from professional kitchens, as well as tidbits from my holistic nutrition education. But mostly I just want to show you how to make dinner. (See what I did there?) 😄
My cooking style is simple but flavourful. I cook with a lot of veggies but I'm not vegetarian. A typical dinner for me is plant-forward, budget-friendly, non-fussy, and really delicious. As a step-mom, I make a lot of family-friendly comfort food, as well as a lot of simple, indulgent dinners for one (or two).

I would love to see more canned fish recipes.... Sardines, mackerel, 😊💜

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Ok!

[@kaiju_k5042]

I agree, always love those too :)

[@shellylittlefeather883]

I was thinking the same thing! Those canned fish are so healthy for you but nobody knows how to cook with them.😅

[@Mary-uz2tz]

Sometimes I add a tad of potato flakes to thicken/cream up my soup.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

That’s a great move!

[@edprotas4148]

What a great idea!!!

[@touchedouche8806]

Not pretentious at all. Very lovely recipe. Real world real people chowdah

[@Buttercup251]

Hi, Paula, would love to try this salmon chowder! Sounds great, would have never thought about this combination. Thank you!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Update: we ate it all! Well, my grandma had a bowl too. She loved it!

[@kaiju_k5042]

Awww that's so sweet

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

I love that you used your instant pot. Your video was very well presented, visually pleasing and easy to follow. I also make cooking videos and love learning from talented creators like you. You taught me something new. I hope we learn from each other! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@stevejohnson2471]

Hello - I love your channel and your (funny and dry humour!) style of presenting, not to mention some great cooking ideas. I was wondering if there was enough interest in your audience, if you could do some videos on canned sardines or mackerel or herring, and how to make some delicious meals out of them. thanks again for all the great content!

[@zachariahs.1112]

I smoked a fat blunt and made this and it was incredible 🙌 😍

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Hahah! I’m so glad it hit the spot!

[@zachariahs.1112]

@@HowToMakeDinner i had some canned salmon and didn't know what to do with it and I saw this recipe and had to try it

[@kellydoughty7382]

Jus what I was looking fer!!!! 😁💯 Ty

[@jeffrobinson7958]

Hi Paula, I went to pour a glass of wine, I returned to the video and you were adding the sour cream ,I didn't realize thàt you had already pressure cooked the veggies and I added the sour cream before I pressure cooked the soup. Can I save this? I ask! Thankfully, the sour cream was on sale, I purchased the 500ml for the 250 ml price. I then added the excess to the pot. Long story short, this was the best mother f'n soup I've had for a long long time! The mish mash was killer too! TY

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Well that is so nice to hear! Yeah the SC will likely separate under the heat/pressure, but it should still taste good!

[@Clynn57]

We had this for dinner, tonight. IT WAS A HIT. I didn’t have fresh dill so I used dry, but much less obviously. My first bowl I didn’t do the lemon, but added it on my second helping and I loved it even more. Next time I will add more salmon, though. I’d love to see more recipes using canned salmon.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Awesome!! I’m so glad to hear that.

[@RS-hc9jt]

I made it last night and it's pretty darn good though I'd cut back on the dill from what I put in. I used a box of Campbell's vegetable stock instead of water and stock concentrate. The sour cream really pulled it together. I'll make this one again. Thank you Paula One more thing, fresh bread right out of the oven would be great with this.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Awesome! Yes I agree on the fresh bread too!

[@QueenB-bm6ol]

Cooking overwhelms me but your videos boost my confidence. Your ‘chill’ style and simple recipes make me actually want to cook! Enjoyed your miso on toast idea while watching this video. THX from Toronto!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

This is music to my ears! Also, I love Toronto! Oh what I would do for a Gryfe's bagel right now! :)

[@sgtfluffy718]

The sour cream will not separate as long as you temper it first. You can use the low fat kind if you want you just have to put the liquid into the sour cream instead of putting the sour cream into the liquid. Once you temper that sour cream you can then just dump the whole thing in

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I’ll give that a try next time! Thanks!

[@douglawson8937]

Look up at the ceiling and say to no one in particular in your best Gilbert Gottfried voice, "CHOWDUHHHHHHH! chowDUHHHHHHHHH! CHOWDUH!"

[@yvesmorneau2492]

Wow ! I’ll give it a go on Friday Ace blender on the job site will help me out . Sketchy set up (hope no health inspectors show up ) I just like soup ! Good job , chef

[@aahen5303]

canned salmon is too horrifying...I tried...I really tried...

[@Jambivids]

It's better than no salmon..... and I'd try anything twice

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I didn’t always like it either!

[@Mary-uz2tz]

Need quality home canned salmon from the Pacific or Alaska not that east coast farmed salmon.

[@edprotas4148]

I agree - canned salmon from the store is just nasty! But... I think I will follow Paula's recipe and use some frozen fish... thawed and then pan fried (maybe with some mesquite seasoning and butter), and then chunked-in at the end. Mmmmm...

[@HowToMakeDinner]

@@edprotas4148 sounds like a great plan!

[@toastybone4322]

PLEASE talk more about what you’re drinking! We re-upped on our canned salmon and it’s snowy right now in Colorado so maybe this’ll have to be our dinner tonight…

[@HowToMakeDinner]

You got it!

[@kaiju_k5042]

Sorry I'm late to the party, I woke up at 6am to watch as I couldn't last night. Gosh this is cozy in a bowl, the potatoes, corn and dill with the chowder, delish! Never cooked with canned salmon, must rectify that asap! :) Also thank you for the tips on freezing herbs, that's really huge!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Glad you made it! I hope you had a nice cozy cup of tea or something!

[@kaiju_k5042]

@@HowToMakeDinner I had a cranberry Kombucha, really into fermented tea the last few weeks :) Also loved seeing what you're drinking while cooking dinner, your videos always hit all the spots, best stuff! Every few weeks I do 7-9 days in a row that I don't drink any alcohol, caffeine or soda (helps me sleep betteer) and I watched a videos of yours once during that week and you were sipping on a cold beer, I was sooo jealous lol!

[@KS-oq4vh]

Could I use heavy cream instead of sour cream?

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Yep!

[@jestherjackson]

Look up simple living Alaska. You look and sound like aerial

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Haha someone mentioned that to me a couple of years ago and I've been following them ever since! I like watching them on Saturdays with my coffee. So relaxing!

[@unappreciatedtreehouse821]

Starting with wine is a good idea.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

The best!

[@rubsey1]

Love chowder. This is very similar to mine. Think you're right about the potato. I'm regularly on keto and I've tried using radish and turnip as a replacement but the texture just isn't as good. Frozen bell pepper is good in it too.

[@Clynn57]

Glad you mentioned the bell pepper. I had ponder using the frozen mirepoix. Onion, celery and peppers.

[@edprotas4148]

Thanks for the tip on freezing dill. I will definitely do that this year... from my garden. The other thing I want to say is that I don't get the whole instant pot thing... I bought one to replace my pressure cooker when the pressure thingy quit working (and the manufacturer did not respond), but I only use it to cook beans. To me cooking is all about the relationship I have with the ingredients and the process, and the instant pot kind of infringes on that. Yeah, salmon and taters; what's not to like about that.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I hear ya. I definitely opt for the regular old pot quite often too. I do love the IP for making yogurt and beans. When I’m really in the mood to cook, I use a regular pot and get comfy!

[@glendahingley491]

Ed Protas - I'm with you on that. Definitely cook the beans in the IP and then use them in cooking, though I will do things like pot roast in there as well. I get much more consistent results that say, with a slow cooker

[@glendahingley491]

The corn would add a great texture variation! Glad you could use that great looking salmon.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

It was so good! And ya. Corn makes just about everything better doesn’t it?

[@Yipikiay100]

I have never heard of salmon chowder, but like salmon more than clams so definitely looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks

[@shellylittlefeather883]

I just found your channel looking for other ways to eat canned salmon besides salmon patties for some variety. I loved your tip on freezing dill! I have never seen tomato paste in a tube. I will be looking for it. I am going to buy an instant pot so I look forward to your insta pot recipes.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

It’s a great gadget to have! I hope you enjoy it :)

[@leelanarinesingh8022]

Great soup

[@retireorbust]

I'm cheap except for the booze I drink while I'm cooking. (Yes, you just pulled out the wine. Haha. Kindred spirits, pardon the pun.) I use canned cubed potatoes, canned mixed veggies, pre-cooked bacon, liquid smoke, powdered garlic. Its all about the wine...I drink. With chowder I drink Pinot Noir with a vodka chaser. (Just kidding). Agree on potatoes but then my first chowder was in New England, not that they know anything about seafood. Whoa... wait. Tomato paste. 😢 I need more wine. Nah, Tequila!
