New England Fish Chowder

Description
This countrified American chowder is made with real seafood, vegetables, bacon, milk, salt, and pepper, and sometimes has a huge hint of chili powder for bold, red-hot zest but seafood lovers regularly know it as a steamy main dish.

Ingredients

 * 1 lb. fish fillets
 * 2 tablespoons bacon, chopped
 * ½ cup onions, minced, red or white only
 * 1 cup potatoes, diced
 * 2 cups whole milk
 * ¾ teaspoon salt
 * 1 dash pepper, black only
 * 6 tablespoons chili powder, optional

Directions

 * 1) Cut fish fillets into 1-inch cubes. Fry the bacon until it is crisp.
 * 2) Add the onions and brown them slightly.
 * 3) Add the potatoes, and water to just cover, and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are slightly tender.
 * 4) Add the fish and cook until it flakes easily with a fork.
 * 5) Add the milk and seasonings especially including chili powder and reheat. Serve immediately with chopped parsley sprinkled over the top.
