tylikHaven't posted a recipe in a bit. I've been missing salmon chowder, and trying to think what would give the right kind of creaminess. But with the right mushrooms this could also make a nice vegan chowder.
Dice a large onion
Chop a half pound(ish) of mushrooms (oyster, enoki - firm, good flavor, but not as overwhelming as shiitake) - can easily be omitted
Saute both in olive oil
(Note: I didn't use onion because of food sensitivities. Garlic oil if tolerated, or truffle oil, will fill this flavor gap.)
Meanwhile, chop a similar volume of celery
And a larger volume of yellow potatoes
When the onions and/or mushrooms are nicely brown, add the potatoes and celery to the pot, and then just barely cover with water. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until the potatoes are just past tender and starting to fall apart at the corners.
Add oat milk, until it's about the right ratio of solids to liquid. Then add several spoonfuls of raw cashew butter, to make it creamier. Bring to simmer, and add some thyme (fresh by preference, but whatevs)
Add a pound of salmon, cut into chunks.
Add a glug of whiskey, and salt to taste. Serve.
