Smoked Salmon Chowder

I was bombing through the WinCo supermarket to get some clam juice and noticed a 3 oz. pouch of smoked salmon. I know Ivar's has a lovely smoked salmon chowder and found this recipe to base lunch on. The salmon isn't as good and a high end smoked salmon like Seabear, but it is half the price and the 3 oz. packet would be really convenient on travel.
