Cullen Skink (Smoked Haddock Soup)

 

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.
