Our friends and countrymen in the Northeastern United States are getting hit pretty hard by the snow and storms this week. Here is a soup that finds its home in the Northeast and will warm you up no matter where you are. The rosemary cornbread will make a great accompaniment to the soup for both added filling and for delicious dipping.
You can use any white flaky fish for the soup like cod, halibut, mahi mahi, perch, bass, pike, etc. I used Yellowtail amberjack which came out very good. I cut the fillets into 1†cubes. After you have all of you ingredients prepared then you will want to allow the cornbread to bake as you cook the soup. At the very end of the soup preparation you will add cream, which you will not want to bring to a boil. It will break and appear to curdle. If this happens, do not fret. Make a roux by cooking equal parts of oil and flour together until the flour is slightly brown. I recommend ½ cup of oil and ½ cup of flour. Allow the roux to cool then add it to the soup and stir vigorously. This will bring everything back together.
