spicy fish soup

One of these horribly frigid nights this winter, my husband and I came up with this delicious soup together. The combination of the butter, red pepper flakes, and the tender snapper made this soup a winner from the first try! The man is a picky eater, and even he was in love with it. It was warm enough to heat up our bones, but not too spicy for the kids. It is fantastic!! Definitely a keeper!
