Instructions
  1. Fire up a chimney full of charcoal. Make a solid pile of hot charcoal and place a large camp Dutch oven over the hot coals. We used a 12-inch oven and it was just barely big enough. Add olive oil and let it warm up for a minute, then add chopped leeks.
  2. Stir frequently to saute the leeks until they are soft.
  3. Add potatoes, chives, and chicken stock.
  4. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  5. Stir in tomato paste and salmon.
  6. Remove from heat and add milk, cream, and sherry.
  7. Gently smash the potatoes be squishing the chunks up against the side of the Dutch oven with the back of a spoon. This makes the chowder thick and creamy.
  8. Remove all but about 8 hot charcoals and return oven to the heat. Stir constantly until chowder starts a very soft simmer. Remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
