Cream of Haddock soup served with almost stale rolls! …
June 17, 2009 in Uncategorized
Alas. Another recipe by absolute mistake …
I really didn’t feel up to eating the usual ‘Haddock with cheese sauce on toast’ and needed (wanted?) something warm and soothing this morning. I scrounged around in the fridge and the herb garden, and after some plucking (in the garden) and pushing (around in the fridge) i thought a warm and hearty fish soup would be ideal with the almost stale rolls (which was buttered and crispened up on the stove) !! … for breakfast.
In a pot, sautee a medium onion, chopped very fine in a wee bit of ghee.
Add handfuls of chopped potato, celery and leek.
If you have carrots, throw them in for good measure (about another handful, cubed small)
… The smaller these pieces are, the quicker they will cook)
Toss in a few whole black peppercorns and 1 or 2 fresh bay leaves (dry will work just as well) and some cardamom pods.
Top with water and allow to soften.
In a seperate pan, poach 2 small peices of haddock in some salted milk.
Once cooled, break the haddock into smaller peices, and stir into the prepared and softened vegetables. (milk and all) … Season with salt and fine black pepper and add 2 tblspns of Knorr Vegetable soup powder (mixed with a bit of water) … Allow to thicken and taste for salt. Stir in a tspn of butter and a dash of Robertsons Fish Spice and white pepper. Finish of with some chopped chives and a swirl of cream, and some more crushed black pepper.
Is it enough for dinner? .. No. Perhaps as a starter. But works perfectly for breakfast. I simply adore the little specks of orange that come through, such a picture pleaser this one is!

hi there Tickle,
I read some comments on Shamz blog regarding the ICSI vs IVF vs IUI procedure. You mentioned that there is a Dr J. Malan in RIvonia, who is a miracle worker with regards to fertility treatment. I have searched for his contact details but have not been successful. Do you perhaps have his contact details?
i would really like to try something natural before going for ICSI
many thanks,
sharona

Sounds like a great way of using almost stale rolls – not that I quite know the difference between stale and almost stale ones! Though, come to think of it – when they get mildew, that’s STALE!
