Ingredients
for Cullen Skink
50
g (2 oz) butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1.2 litres (2 pints) creamy milk
750 g (1 1/2 lb) floury potatoes such as Maris Piper
or King Edwards, peeled and diced
450 g (1 lb) undyed smoked haddock fillet
2 tablespoons chopped parsley plus a little extra

How
to make Cullen Skink
- Melt
the butter in a pan, add the onion and cook gently
for 7 - 8 minutes until it is soft but not browned.
- Pour
in the milk and bring to the boil.
-
Add the diced potatoes and simmer for 20 minutes until
they are really soft.
- Add
the smoked haddock and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes, until
it is cooked and will flake easily.
- Carefully
lift the fish out onto a plate and leave to cool slightly.
-
Meanwhile crush some of the cooked potatoes up against
the side of the pan with the wooden spoon to thicken
the soup a little.
- When
the smoked haddock is cool enough to handle, break
the fish into flakes, discarding the skin and any
bones.
- Return
fish to the pan and stir in the parsley and some seasoning
to taste.
- Serve
garnished with a little more chopped parsley.
