Salmon Chowder

It's soup season!  My aunt cooked tonight and made a family favorite.  I know it might not "sound" yummy, but trust me, I have not met anyone who does not like this yummy fall soup.  My grandma gave all of us this recipe after she and my grandpa had this soup on their Alaskan cruise. 

Salmon Chowder
1/2 cup each: chopped celery, onion, green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
3 Tblsp butter
1 can chicken broth (14.5oz)
1 cup uncooked diced, peeled potatoes
1 cup shredded carrots
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp dill
1 can cream style corn (14 3/4 oz)
2 cups fat free half and half
2 cups cooked salmon, flaked

Cook first 4 ingredients in butter until tender.  Add potatoes, carrots, and seasonings.  Bring to a boil and simmer for 40 minutes or until vegetables are done.  Stir in corn, half & half, and salmon.  Simmer 15 minutes.
Note:  do not use canned salmon for this recipe.  I buy frozen salmon and bake it until it flakes apart, about 20 minutes on 350 degrees.
