Yum! Whitefish chowder.

I make homemade chowders quite frequently. I don't use recipes but for sometimes with baking. Looks like a descent recipe but if you're making fresh chowder seriously consider skipping the canned soup. Just use more potato, a little extra onion and and dump some cream or half and half depending on what you have around. Then salt to taste. I take plenty of shortcuts with cooking all the time but canned soup just takes away from the fresh from scratch flavor both as plain soup and as an ingredient in something else. I put 2 lb of halibut to thaw this morning into the fridge. I'll do a similar recipe to make my halibut chowder tomorrow with the changes mentioned. Now I also use maybe half that much bacon and add a stalk or 2 of chopped celery in it's place. Does that make me a health nut[laugh]? But yeah if you want great chowder real butter and bacon are right up their with fresh cream (or half and half) in my book.
