Salmon Chowder - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. cooked, flaked and deboned salmon
1 c. green onions, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 c. celery, chopped
1 Tbsp. flour
6 Tbsp. butter
1 c. mashed potatoes
4 c. half and half
1 1/2 Tbsp. Herbes de Provence

Preparation

In a large saucepan, melt butter and saute onions and celery until transparent, but not brown.
Add 1 tablespoon flour and mix into sauteed onions and celery.
Now add half and half and bring to a boil.
Reduce flame to simmer and add flaked salmon and mashed potatoes.
Stir until mixture is smooth, then add Herbes de Provence.
Salt and pepper to taste.
(I added about 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, basil and parsley instead of Herbes de Provence when I couldn't find them.)
