Creamy Fish Chowder With Red Bell Peppers image

You can use almost any fresh or frozen fin fish for this tasty chowder. The pronounced flavors of the vegetables are tempered by the addition of cream at the end of the cooking. If using frozen fish, it is not necessary to thaw completely before adding to soup. Thaw only long enough to be able to cut into cubes and add 5 minutes to cooking time. Great served with hot garlic bread and a chilled Chardonnay.
