Project Name: Salmon Chowder

Brief Description: I had a HUGE slab of salmon from my company holiday dinner that was delivered to our doors; I was meant to heat it up in the oven as-is to enjoy as an entree, but I knew I’d never finish something so enormous, so instead I make a great big pot of salmon chowder. I basically winged the recipe, and I think it turned out very tasty! This definitely required liquid to make.
