The name of this rich, filling and
warming soup comes from the town of Cullen in Morayshire on the northeast coast
of Scotland and the 'Skink' part is a Germanic word for a soup.
These quantities are for 3 to 4 servings.
Ingredients
2 large floury potatoes
Butter
1 large onion
2 pints fresh full cream milk
2 haddock filets (not dyed)
Salt
Pepper
Fresh parsley
Preparation
Cube the potatoes into 1 cm cubes.
In a wide and deep pan, soften the
finely chopped onion in a large knob of butter.
Add in the 2 pints of milk, bring to
the boil slowly then reduce to a simmer. Add in the potatoes and cook
until they are softened, with the lid on.
Add in the smoked haddock filets and
poach in the milk for 4 minutes.
Remove the filets. Scrape off
the skin and remove any bones that you find.
Flake the fish flesh into large
chunks and return it into the soup pot.
Season to your taste with salt,
pepper and a large handful of roughly chopped parsley.
