This salmon chowder contains good fats, vegetables, wild-caught salmon, and delightful spices that make it a quick and easy-to-make gourmet dish. Wild-caught salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3 fats, which are essential for heart health, cognitive function, and help reduce any inflammation in the body. Wild-caught salmon is also a great source of protein, B vitamins, vitamin D, and many other nourishing essential vitamins and minerals.

You can leave out the carrots for an Advanced Plan version.
