Smoked Salmon Chowder

"This smoked salmon chowder is a classic seafood chowder but with a thinner more delicate broth, made without a roux. Packed with potato, celery, carrots, and lots of delicious lemon pepper smoked salmon! Chowder is one of the best kinds of soup in the world, in my book. I LOVE it. Rich, creamy broth loaded with potatoes, carrots, celery, and SEAFOOD. Give me all the seafood please cause I am obsessed. Traditionally, at least here in the Pacific Northwest, clam chowder rules the culinary roost. You see clam chowder here on almost any menu in some iteration, but never the Manhatten kind cause NO. "
