Ingredients
- 2 leeks sliced
- 1 pound white potatoes cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 ¾ cup milk
- 1 ¼ vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 9 ounces smoked haddock
- pad of butter
- bunch of minced chives
- olive oil
- smoked paprika to taste
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pot.
- Saute leeks, potatoes, curry powder, salt, and pepper for 5 minutes until leeks are soft.
- Add milk, stock, and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Add fish fillet and poach for 2-3 minutes until it flakes easily.
- Remove the fish, peel off the skin, and break it into pieces.
- Transfer some leeks and potatoes to a bowl and mash them with a fork. Stir in the fish and chives.
- Remove the bay leaf and use a blender to puree the soup until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Reheat the soup and serve it in bowls.
- Add the haddock and potato mixture, then drizzle with olive oil, smoked paprika, and more salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Make sure to wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt or sand.
- Cut the leeks and potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Use a non-stick pot to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
- Be cautious with the amount of salt, as the smoked haddock and stock may already add saltiness.
- When poaching the fish, ensure it’s just cooked through to maintain its tenderness.
- Experiment with the amount of curry powder to suit your taste for spiciness.
- Garnish with fresh chives and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a flavorful finish.
