 +===== Procedure ===== 
 +  - In a large soup pot or dutch oven, brown the bacon over medium heat until almost crispy, then drain the bacon grease.  
 +  - Add the butter to the cooked bacon.  
 +  - When the butter is melted, add the onion, celery, carrot, and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.  
 +  - Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. 
 +  - Add the diced potatoes, dill, thyme, basil, paprika, crushed fennel seeds, tomato paste, and capers and stir to combine.  
 +  - Pour in the chicken broth and increase the heat to medium-high. When the chowder comes to a boil, cover and reduce heat to medium-low, then let simmer for 10-15 minutes or just until the potatoes are softened and tender but not falling apart. 
 +  - Add the cubed cream cheese and stir until it melts into the soup.  
 +  - Add the salmon, cream, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Allow the chowder to heat just until everything is gently heated through, but don't let the soup come to a boil after adding the cream.  
 +  - Once hot, taste and adjust the seasoning by adding the salt and pepper, as needed, and adding more hot sauce, if you like. 
 +  - Serve, garnished with a sprig of fresh dill for presentation and a loaf of crusty bread!
