👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Place the smoked haddock in a saucepan with the milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer and poach for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
⏱️ 7 minutes💡 Consigli Professionali: Do not boil the fish, as this can make it tough. - 2
Remove the haddock from the liquid, reserving the poaching liquid. Flake the fish into large pieces, discarding any skin or bones.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure all bones are removed carefully for safety. - 3
In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook gently for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned.

Add the diced potatoes to the saucepan with the onions. Pour in the reserved poaching liquid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
⏱️ 20 minutes💡 Consigli Professionali: The potatoes will help to thicken the soup. - 5
Pour in the milk and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Add the flaked smoked haddock and heat through for a few minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Avoid boiling the soup once the milk is added to prevent curdling. - 6
Season the Cullen Skink with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir in most of the chopped parsley.

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the remaining fresh parsley, and serve hot.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
