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!
