Smoked Haddock Chowder Recipe

I made this today and it’s delicious which is why I’m sharing the recipe.

Ingredients

• 25g butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 400g potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
• 725ml fish stock (I used vegetable stock)
• 200g natural uncooked smoked haddock, skinned and flaked
• 75ml single cream
• cayenne pepper - I used about half a teaspoon

Garnish if required:

• 1 egg, hard boiled and finely chopped
• 2 tbsps finely chopped fresh parsley

Method

• Melt the butter in a saucepan, add three-quarters of the onion and 225g of the potato, then cook gently for 5 minutes, without browning
• Add the stock, cover, bring to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender
• Blend until smooth and return to the pan
• Add the remaining vegetables, cover, then simmer gently for 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender
• Remove from the heat, add the fish, stir in the cream and add cayenne to taste.
• Reheat gently for 5 minutes, then serve with garnish, if required.
