Stir in broth, potato, lemon juice & old bay seasoning. Bring to boil & then reduce heat to simmer. Cover & cook 10-15 minutes or until potato is tender.
• 4. Stir in fish, cooked wild rice & bacon. Return to boiling & reduce heat to a simmer. Cover & cook 2 to 3 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Stir in cream, thyme, basil & parsley. (You can use dried here but remember to cut back on amount as it is stronger when dried). Heat soup but do not boil. And eat :)

SALMON AND WILD RICE CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter; add the shallot, leek, garlic, celery, and thyme and sauté until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook slowly, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Whisk in the clam juice or fish stock and cook until thickened.
• Add the reconstituted tomato, cooked wild rice, salmon, cream, and basil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
• Season to taste with Tabasco, salt, and white pepper.
• Serve with good, crusty bread.
• Makes 4 to 6 servings.
• Note: if you're not familiar with those dining, the fish stock is safest- many people are allergic to shellfish; unsalted chicken broth can also be used; other types of fish may also be substituted for the salmon.
