    My husband is not a big fan of canned salmon but adding a diced potato… He ate it! Very good easy soup!

      You can use margarine and it’ll be just fine. A lot of folks prefer butter because it’s richer and creamier, but others prefer margarine for health reasons. If you use margarine in other dishes I’m sure you’ll be happy with it here.

      As for the evaporated milk, I’m pretty sure Mama meant the standard 12 oz cans.

    My Mama cooked Salmon Stew (served over grits) and also cooked the best homemade biscuits years ago when I was a little girl. I am so happy to find the recipe for this tasty stew since I have been looking for it for several decades.
