The refrigerator light goes on...

Soup is the best cure for the winter blues and this spicy fish soup will really heat things up. If you don't like it spicy, leave out the chili and the soup is still great. Combine all that's good of soup with all that's wonderful about eating fish and you have the perfect meal. This soup is easy and quick to make. The potatoes thicken the broth and the fish flavor combines with the veggies for a great soup.
