I only eat Ritz type crackers, and I only eat them in Salmon Chowder, 'cause they’re integral to the taste, and in Chili, 'cause it’s the law. Basically, for me, it’s the taste. ---

Fill up the bowl with Fritos, put shredded cheddar on top and cover with chili. Now **that’s** Mmm-mmm good! ---

**JuanitaTech** said: > [@](#): > > Sorry to hijack, but… Salmon Chowder? Is that a **n Oregon** thing? It sounds interesting._(my edit)_ Don’t worry, hijacking is a time honored tradition around here. Yes, Salmon chowder is interesting, quite good too. I’m the only person (besides my Mother) that I know of who makes it, so it can’t be regional. But if I told you how I make it, the gourmets on the board would be agitating to have me banned. I’ll have to think about it and decide if I want to risk the humiliation. ---

Okay **JuanitaTech,** Just for you, I posted the recipe for salmon chowder over in **Zenster’s** recipe thread. Go here:[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=968481#post968481](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=968481#post968481) It’s a very good use of crackers. ---

Don’t nobody know no manners? I put crackers in my soup and my Aunt went nuts…or, crackers. She said a few oyster crackers in the soup were okay, but anything else was WRONG! I’m about to visit her in a week. There go the crackers. ---

Thanks, **Bumbazine**. Sounds like the Oyster Stew my hubby’s grandmother makes for him every once in a while. Just substitute the salmon with oysters and add some chopped onions. ---

Now **that’s** Mmm-mmm good! \*\* A few chopped onions on top - Frito pie! Mmm-mmm… I love crackers in every kind of soup, but how come nobody’s mentioned the best cracker of all? Keebler Club crackers! (Or Waverly Wafers will work). Mmm - buttery. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/crackers-in-soup/45067.md?page=1)
