Fournet's Fast Fish Chowder

I’ve never posted, nor even thought of posting a recipe, but the following spontaneous combination was so tasty and quick that I felt I really should share it.

I got a hankering Friday for some protein and we were fresh out of franks. We were also low on some other key provisions, so I started scrounging around the pantry and the Frigidaire. I rustled up the ingredients in the photo here, including a pot o' brown rice I’d cooked earlier. When I saw the foil pack of Salmon, an idea popped into my brain that it would go well with the potato & leek soup. So I put them all together, added a dash of Tabasco, and commenced chowing down on Fournet’s Fast Fish Chowder. Oh, yeah!

That evening, Andrea steamed up some broccoli and cauliflower and added that to a bigger batch on the same basic theme. I thought of adding canned crab, but we were out. The proportions of ingredients are as you like it.

In case the photo isn't clear, the ingredients are:

Wild caught pink salmon in foil pack
Creamy potato leek soup
Brown Rice
Pepper and/or hot sauce to taste
Vegetables (optional)

The crackers were served on the side.

I'm going to wait and try that when the weather gets cold. Sounds great.

I used Campbell's condensed inorganic cream of celery soup and left out the rice. I only had some canned salmon, but that worked fine. Thanks. You're right, it was quick and tasty.
