FAQs

Which thickening agent I used for smoked salmon chowder?

  • For the keto version cream cheese and glucomannan is used. You can also add the cauliflower and blend with the sauce. Traditional chowders use flour, potatoes, or cornstarch to maintain its consistency.

Is there any possibility that I prepare this dish before time?

  • It is good to consume fresh smoked salmon. But you can also put this in the closed bowl in the fridge and reheat it gently on a low flame. But you cannot freeze them because it is a cream-containing soup. And cream gets split while reheating.

Is this a keto-friendly recipe?
