Nutritious Salmon Chowder with Wild Rice Cooked in Clay

As the weather warms, I've been on the hunt for more soup, chowder and stew recipes. They're warming, nutrient-dense, filling, and downright delicious. What's not to love?

Soups and stews are a great snack or mini-meal, or a great side or appetizer for a full meal. Whether you're planning a holiday get-together, a family meal or just want to cook several dishes to heat-and-serve throughout the week, soups are a great go-to option.

I love this recipe not only because it is delicious, but it combines several very nutritious ingredients and it is a one-pot recipe; easy to prepare, cook, and clean up.I'm not sure it gets any better than that!

I love using VitaClay for this type of dish, because it's safe and easy to just throw everything in the pot. When I get home, a delicious meal is waiting for me!
