Halibut & Potato Chowder

 
Cold, dreary winters call for a rich creamy fish soup. Big chunks of flaky white fish, golden potatoes, onions, and herbs, there is nothing better to enjoy on a snowy afternoon. This recipe can be substituted with any white fish you have on hand for a scumptious and cozy treat!
