Cullen Skink

Cullen Skink is a traditional Scottish soup made with smoked haddock, potatoes, and onions.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Place the smoked haddock in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the haddock from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Meanwhile, flake the cooked haddock into bite-sized pieces, removing any skin and bones.
Once the potatoes are cooked, use a blender or immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.
Return the blended soup to the pan and add the flaked haddock. Stir in the double cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
