Yield Makes 2 servings (can be doubled)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bacon slices, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, sliced
2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
1 12-ounce russet potato, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 cups (packed) thinly sliced green cabbage
1 8- to 10-ounce halibut fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup half and half

Steps:

Sauté bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat until brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel and drain. Add onion to drippings in pan. Sauté until beginning to color, about 4 minutes. Add clam juice and potato and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer until potato is almost tender, about 8 minutes.
Add cabbage and fish and simmer uncovered until potato is tender, fish is just opaque in center and cabbage is wilted, about 5 minutes. Add half and half and bacon; simmer 1 minute to blend flavors. Season ragout with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve.
