All my life I've made very unladylike gagging noises whenever fish soup has been mentioned. Tonight I suddenly had to have some
So here's what I did:
Brought 1/2 pint full cream milk to the boil (actually I boiled it over the first effort and had to start again
) I chopped an onion very very finely and set it to simmer in the milk. I added some chopped button mushrooms (they're not part of the usual recipe as far as I know, but I thought they looked good). Meanwhile I steamed home grown potatoes til cooked then mashed them. Once the onion was nearly cooked I placed two pieces of smoked haddock on the top to cook. I took out the fish to skin it, and added half a pint of vegetable stock, then the mashed potatoes. A pinch of dried marjoram, a few twists of black pepper and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, followed by the flaked fish, a bit more water added to reach the desired consistency, a good stir and dinner was ready.
I'm pleased to say it was really tasty
but I feel a bit sick now
