Dairy free Salmon chowder

I've recently been exploring dairy free cooking options and am amazed at the many wonderful recipes available. Now, I might convince my husband that he doesn't need cheese! Maybe wishful thinking but anyway here is one of my tweaked lactose free recipes.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion
2 celery stalks
2 carrots or 14 baby carrots
1 clove garlic or 1.5 teaspoons of precut garlic
4 potatoes
7 cups chicken stock
2 small smoked salmon fillets or 1 large fillet
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon dill
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Cook onion, celery, carrots, and garlic in covered pot with olive oil for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
2. Cook salmon in oven for 15 to 20 minutes (until flakey).
3. Put in potatoes and pour in chicken stock. Heat to a boil then reduce heat to medium. Cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
4. Debone salmon and take off the skin. Put salmon, dill, and wine in soup. Bring to a boil to cook out the alcohol.
5. Season with salt and pepper.

Sorry but I didn't think to take pictures during this process but I promise it looks as good as it sounds!
