Directions

First thing; most people have a tendency to grossly over cook soups with fish, be very alert to how long you are actually cooking the fish. Add the stock and bring to a low boil. start chopping and adding the ingredients in the order listed, stir occasionally and keep the temp at a low bubble. Make sure the potatoes are near done before adding the fish. Add half & half and turn the heat to low and let stand a few minutes to heat the half & half. Salt & pepper to taste.
