CREAMY NORWEGIAN FISH SOUP



Creamy Norwegian Fish Soup image

When we lived in Norway we used to eat lots of fish...this recipe reminds me of a fish soup which was very common there. You can use other fish and shellfish. The potatoes and tomatoes are ingredients I have been adding over the years and listed them as optional.
