St. Urho's Day Fish Stew image

This is my lightened up version of a Finnish fish soup. St. Urho's Day was celebrated on March 16th to honor St. Urho for saving crops from grasshoppers, driving them from the country by shouting "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go away from here!" Anyway, this is a simple and easy soup, much like a chowder.
