I made some fish soup a couple of weeks ago that turned out pretty good.
It doesn't really lend itself to a formal recipe very well, but here goes:

Bob's Spicy Fish Soup

I sauteed a chopped onion, a jalapeno, and a little celery in a
tablespoon of lard. Then added about a pint of leftover chicken broth,
a pint of leftover canned tomatoes, a few peeled leftover cherry
tomatoes, and some bay leaves. Simmered until the vegetable were soft
and it smelled wonderfully of bayleaf, then added a bottle of clam
juice, some thyme, cayenne pepper, and a few diced waxy potatoes. And a
generous pinch of dried diced green peppers. When the potatoes were
done, I added 3 or 4 thawed whitefish fillets and a pinch of marjoram,
and cooked until the fish was flaky.

It needed a little more salt, so I added some salty Thai fish sauce --
almost a big mistake cuz it smelled so bad, but the nasty smell
dissipated quickly. I also added some fresh ground black pepper. I ate
2 big bowlfuls for supper, and Daughter had a bowl too and pronounced it
good. There was a lot left over.

Next time I will leave out the fish sauce [yuck] and just use salt or a
chicken bouillon cube.

Best regards,
Bob
