directions

  • Dice the onions into 1/4-inch dice.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot, melt the butter, then add the diced onions. Cook the onions until they are just translucent.
  • Peel and dice the potatoes into about 1/2-inch cubes. Add potatoes and clam juice. Simmer until potatoes are just barely tender.
  • About 15 minutes before serving, cut any filleted fish you are using into about 3-inch sections. (It will fall apart after cooking into bite-size pieces. Cutting it up smaller before cooking would yield pieces that are too small in the finished dish. Add fish and simmer about 10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.).
  • To prevent breaking up pieces of fish, avoid stirring.
  • Add the light cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dill. Heat through, taking care to keep the heat low and prevent the cream from curdling.

I love "real" food. I lost about 30 pounds, but I've gained a bit back. It's January 5, 2009, and it's time to get back to watching what I eat. I want to use real ingredients-- real butter, real sugar-- and compensate with good taste for the need to eat smaller servings. It's a the flavor-to-calorie ratio I look at.
