Creamy Salmon Chowder, Version II
  1. 1

    Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry in a soup pot until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion to the bacon drippings and cook until the onion softens slightly. Add the chicken stock, scalloped potato mix, the undrained can of corn, and freshly ground pepper (to taste). Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, trim the tapered edges from the salmon filet. Smash the trimmings with a meat pounder and add them to the pot. Check the remaining filet for stray bones and remove them. Cut the salmon into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cubes and set aside.

  4. 4

    When the potatoes are rehydrated but still slightly firm, add the salmon, bacon, green onion, and the dill. Cook for 5 more minutes. Add the milk and evaporated milk; stir and cook until heated through.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
