Instructions
- 1
Poach the fish: Place the smoked haddock in a wide pan. Cover with the milk and water (or stock). Bring to a very gentle simmer and poach for 5 minutes until the fish flakes easily.
- 2
Flake the fish: Carefully remove the haddock from the liquid with a slotted spoon. Reserve the poaching liquid. Once cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, check for bones, and flake the flesh into large chunks.
- 3
Sauté the onion: In a separate large heavy-based pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and gently fry for 5-8 minutes until soft and translucent, but not browned.
- 4
Cook the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the onions. Pour over the reserved poaching liquid. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are very tender.
- 5
Thicken the soup: Take a potato masher and lightly crush about half of the potatoes directly in the pot. This naturally thickens the soup to a creamy consistency.
- 6
Finish and serve: Gently stir the flaked smoked haddock back into the pot and simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Season with plenty of black pepper (you probably won't need salt). Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
