I planned to make Baked Blackened Salmon tonight (thanks, Tracy) - but when the downpour hit I remembered this recipe. I didn't use any of our canned salmon as I already had fillets thawed. I threw them in the oven with some spices and used 2 lbs of them for the chowder. I am excited to report EVERYONE liked this. Even our fish hater had a second helping. It doesn't taste fishy! I'm happy to have another way to use our canned salmon. LOL
Ingredients
3 T butter
3/4 C chopped onion
1/2 C chopped celery
1 tsp garlic powder
2 C diced potatoes
2 Carrots, diced
2 C chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried dill weed
2 (16 oz) cans salmon
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
1 (15 oz) can creamed corn
1/2 lb cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
Melt Butter. Saute onion, celery, and garlic powder until onions are soft.
Stir in potatoes, carrots, broth, salt, pepper, and dill.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.

Cook until heated through.

Recipe Notes:
I did not have creamed corn. I used frozen corn and added it when I began simmering the soup.
After simmering - I added a 1/2 a block of cream cheese. This was because I thought it would be creamy and I was thinking of creamed corn. ALSO - I can't eat cheddar cheese and still wanted the cheesy taste. I added this and melted it....then pulled out some for me. I added cheddar to the rest of the soup.
I only had one can of evaporated milk and was doubling the recipe. I used dry milk and it was fine.

I did not double the weight of fish and put in two lbs of crumbled fillets - that was plenty salmon - but I'm not sure how it compares to 16 oz cans of salmon.
