Soup Sunday- Salmon Cheese Chowder


3 tablespoons butter 
½ medium onion chopped 
2 medium carrots grated into long strips 
1 stalk celery 
2 tablespoons flour 
1 chicken bouillon cube 
4 cups 1 % milk 
1 5 ounce can pink salmon 
 1cup shredded Colby or cheddar cheese 
1 teaspoon dried dill weed 

Melt butter in bottom of soup pot. Add onions, carrots and celery. Cook until tender or about 3 minutes. Add flour. Then add milk and bullion cube.  Heat until the soup just begins to simmer, and then turn to low heat. Add salmon, dill weed and cheese. Heat until cheese is melted. 

Makes 4 servings 

You can experiment with using different cheeses. A smoked Gouda or sharp cheddar would be great.  I also though instead of the dill weed, adding curry powder would give this soup a nice spice.
