  • Look for smoked salmon with a bright color and firm texture.
  • When selecting shrimp, choose ones with a mild odor and a grayish-white color.

  • In place of cream cheese, use Greek yogurt. This substitution will reduce the fat content of the chowder, while still providing a creamy texture and flavor.
  • In place of heavy cream, use coconut milk. This will lighten the chowder and give it a subtle coconut flavor that will pair nicely with the other ingredients.

Vegetarian Variation Replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock, omit the shrimp, smoked salmon, and capers, and add additional vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers.
