What you’ll need

 - 400g potatoes, peeled and diced
 - 1 small leek, finely sliced
 - 1 onion, finely chopped
 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

Let's Cook!
Step 1
Sauté the aromatics – In a large pot, melt a little butter and gently cook the leek, onion, and garlic until softened.
Step 2
Simmer the potatoes – Add the diced potatoes, stock, milk, bay leaf, and black pepper. Let it simmer until the potatoes are tender.
Step 3
Cook the haddock – Gently place the smoked haddock loin steaks in the pot and poach for about 5 minutes until just cooked. Remove the fish, flake it into large chunks, and discard any skin.
Step 4
Blend for creaminess – Remove the bay leaf, blend about half of the soup for a creamy texture, then return the flaked haddock to the pot.
Step 5
Finish and serve – Stir in the double cream, heat through, and ladle into bowls. Garnish with fresh chives and serve with warm crusty bread.
