CULLEN SKINK - SCOTTISH SMOKED HADDOCK AND POTATO SOUP



Cullen Skink - Scottish Smoked Haddock and Potato Soup image

The name of this rich, tasty soup comes from the fishing village of Cullen, in Morayshire in Northern Scotland. "Skink" is a soup made originally from a shin of beef - in fact the word "skink" means soup or stew - but in this case, the main ingredient is smoked haddock with potatoes and onions. Finnan haddock is often called Finnan haddie, and is the traditional ingredient in the famous Edwardian breakfast dish of Kedgeree. Cullen Skink is sometimes called Smoked Haddock Chowder when served in bistros and restaurants. We love to serve this delicious soup as an elegant and comforting starter for our Burns Night Tribute Supper; this is also a wonderful soup to be served as a main course - with crusty bread and butter.

Tips for Making Smoked Haddock Soup:

- Use high-quality smoked haddock. Freshness and quality of ingredients are key factors in making a delicious soup. Look for smoked haddock fillets or pieces that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid those that appear dull or have an off odor. - Don't overcook the haddock. Smoked haddock is a delicate fish, so it is important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and lose its flavor. Add the haddock to the soup towards the end of the cooking time, just enough to heat it through. - Use a good quality stock. The stock you use will greatly impact the flavor of the soup. Use a homemade stock if possible, or choose a store-bought stock that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. The recipe provided in the article includes a variety of vegetables, but you can also add others that you enjoy. For example, you could add diced carrots, celery, or parsnips. - Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers. Smoked haddock soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a satisfying and comforting meal.

Smoked haddock soup is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its smoky flavor and creamy texture, this soup is sure to warm you up on a cold day.
