"This is my lightened up version of a Finnish fish soup. St. Urho's Day was celebrated on March 16th to honor St. Urho for saving crops from grasshoppers, driving them from the country by shouting "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go away from here!" Anyway, this is a simple and easy soup, much like a chowder."

Made as directed except that I doubled the butter! My 3 pounds of fish included tilapia, haddock, bay scallops, and swordfish; next time, I would not add swordfish as it was too much for this chowder; the other fish worked quite well. Thanks, EdsGirlAngie! Made for <b>Bargain Basement Tag</b> game.
