Ingredients
2 tbsp oil (sunflower or similar)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
400gms of potatoes, peeled and diced
2 corn cobs, kernels removed
200 g natural uncooked smoked haddock
1 small red chilli (optional) finely chopped
500ml fish or vegetable stock
400ml milk
Method
- Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the onions until soft. Add the pepper and chilli (if using) and fry for 2-3 minutes longer.
- Add the potatoes, sweetcorn and stock and bring to the boil.
- Simmer until the potatoes and corn are tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- In the meantime, poach the haddock gently in the milk (about 5 mins). Remove the haddock from the milk and flake the fish, discarding the skin.
- You might prefer to blend the soup at this stage – but don’t go too smooth, this soup should retain some texture.
- Add the fish and the milk to the soup and reheat, simmering for a few minutes so the flavours blend.
