A rich, creamy chowder made with zucchini, fresh corn kernels, and baby potatoes. With its intense flavor, you only need four ounces of hot smoked-salmon for this one-pot dinner that's made in a Dutch oven.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped

  • 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 1 pound baby potatoes, scrubbed and cut into ¼-inch rounds

  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears), or 10 ounces frozen

  • 1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into ¼-inch pieces

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 4 ounces hot-smoked salmon, skin removed, cut into ½-inch pieces

  • Oyster crackers, for serving

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add potatoes, broth, and 2 cups water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn and zucchini; simmer, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cream and fish. Season with pepper and serve with oyster crackers.
