4 oz. butter
2 c. sliced onions
2 tbsp. flour
1 c. hot water
4 c. canned clam juice
4 c. water
4 c. sliced potatoes
1 tbsp. thyme
Bay leaf
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 lb. haddock or halibut, in 2 inch chunks
2 c. light cream

In large pot, melt butter and add onions. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove cover, add flour and cook 2 minutes. Then add hot water and blend. Add clam juice, water, potatoes and seasonings. Cover and simmer slowly 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. (Remove and discard bay leaf.) Uncover and reduce heat, add cut up fish, about 10 minutes until fish is opaque. Stir slowly and add cream. Refrigerate covered. Even better the next day!
