What a lovely rainy day meal, giving both comfort and satisfaction! Thank you. 👍 My mum used to make a great fish custard with smoked haddock. She always served it with new potatoes and green veg. 👍😊
You know, I tend to keep a pressure cooker of potato and leek soup on the go during the winter, and it's never occurred to me to turn it into cullen skink even though I adore it. Well, that's soon rectified! Many thanks Cheryl - inspiring and appetising once again. :-)
Fell in love with Cullen Skink while touring Scotland years ago. Of course smoked haddock is near impossible to find in the US but I found a source (although very, very expensive) that ships 2 day. It was worth the expense! Will try making this again with other smoked white flesh fish. Smoked Salmon would be good too.
My fav also, my gran used to cook what we used to call 'Yellow fish' lol Which is dyed smoked haddock. I adore Cullen Skink & when I lived in Livingston & Angus it was eaten at least once a week mmmmmm YUMMM
I’ve just finished my breakfast but still my mouth is watering! I’m definitely going to make this, I don’t know why I haven’t! I also love smoked haddock poached in milk with thick slices of bread to soak up the milk.
Not gonna lie, every scottish dish I've ever seen and tasted has been amazing. I made Cullen Skink a while back (I had to use a touch of liquid smoke as I couldn't find any decently smoked fish) and it's about time to enjoy it again!
Visited Scotland in October 2018 and had ma first encounter with this fab dish and was absolutely mad about it - made it when we had friends coming for dinner the night before Christmas Eve and so were they! So much actually, so it has become a tradition now, every 23rd of December we’re havin’ Cullen Skink, made after your old recepie 🥰 Don’t know how I’ll manage this year though, as it’s become very difficult to get smoked haddock here after Brexit 😞 Loadsa luv from Denmark
I have got to track down some smoked haddock to try this someday! I was in my 40s before fish finally became food to me, but I do love me a good potato soup, and you could smoke an old boot and I'd happily chow down on that...
From Scotland, ... all our national dishes are just about using what you have. Survival was more important than sourcing ingredients. Fish and meats, - you could only combine that with the veggies/dairy that you had or could afford in good years or bad? Pertinent around the world to this day ...!
Hmmm, beautiful, haddock is one of the tastiest fish anyway, but once smoked & paired with the other ingredients its just heavenly. Yours looks very tasty & inviting. I bet it would also be nice as a chilled soup eaten outside in summer. I was playing a few weeks ago & made a version with some scallops I smoked, I then sprinkled on some toasted oats that I'd mixed with sea salt, pepper & flaked dried seaweed. I hadn't smoked the scallops as heavily unfortunately but their sweeter flesh did bring something to the party, but I was really pleased with the savoury crumble on top of the creamy soup for texture. Great video as always, thank you.
This soup looks sooooo good. We would call it a chowder here in America. I will have to use smoked trout. It will be a little darker and drier so I hope it works. I just called a few fishmongers near me but they don't have the haddick unfortunately.
I haven't been subscribed long but I've already binge watched most of your videos. I'm going to follow your Instagram also. I love your videos and have been looking for an original Stories recipe for so long. I can't wait to try them as I remember my mum's friend cooking it for me when I was a child. I'm excited to try this smoked fish. It also looks so good. Thank you for some lovely meal ideas and wonderful channel 🖤🐈⬛
Learned this one from my Gran - I first made it age 5 - 70 years ago! To make this luxurious when dishing up, use some thin curls of smoked salmon then garnish with a light grating of cheddar and chopped spring onion - looks seriously expensive!
Looks good :) We come from Buckie along the coast from cullen and my recipie is similar but without the leeks & parsley, I also use tinned milk instead of cream 😉
There was an offer on some norwegian catfish in the shops yesterday, got me thinking about cullen skink again... Delicous, thank you for the easy recipe! I'm going to make some tonight ❤
I made this for the first time a few months ago. I used a slow cooker, smoked trout, a tin of sardines, and dill and thyme instead of parsley, but it was soooooooo good. Another thing you can do to thicken it up right away is, once it's done, take out all the big pieces of things, but leave in a few chunks of potato. Then blend them into the broth with an immersion blender until smooth, add the pieces back, bring back up to a simmer, and serve.
Hi Cheryl, thanks for this recipe, it looks amazing and will be especially good as the weather turns to winter. Like everyone the current energy prices are hurting me so I've invested in a small Slow Cooker in the hope it will be more economical. I live alone so easy meals like this are welcome. I assume this one will be OK if made in the slow cooker but my main question is do you have any other ideas for slow cooker or one pot economical meals. Love the channel and thanks for all your help. EDIT... I found lots of your suggestions for slow-cooker recipe's. Thanks again for the channel.
My mom used to make something similar but added hard boiled eggs. Is that more like a kedgeree? It was delicious and definitely brought back memories. Regards from western North Carolina.
Living in the Midwest US, gotta admit, I have never really cooked with fish. Every time I see a dish using smoked fish, I kinda shudder. There are specialty stores where I could buy smoked haddock, but the prices would make it cheaper to just fly to Scotland myself. Same with lamb, currently looking at $20/lb. That's if we can even find them in stores, most don't carry either. Another great recipe, love your channel! :)
Stacy, I too live in the Midwest. I’m lucky that my sister in law and husband live in the country and the fellow down the road runs the local 4H lamb project, so every year we split a whole lamb. A lamb that has literally been hand raised by doting pre teens to show at the county fair. The initial investment is a bit high, because you pay for the lamb and the butchery. It works out to About $7/lb, but for that you get the best bits (loin chops, rack of lamb, shanks) that cost a small fortune, but you also get whole (or cut up) legs, ground lamb, stew meat and some small roasts. A half a lamb lasts my wife and me a whole year. And smoked Lake Michigan whitefish? Oh my. Almost worth driving to Duluth Minnesota just for that!
Now, this is one i'd really like to attempt to make, but can't seem to find smoked haddock in my area of the States. Thanks for the tip for looking for another type of smoked white fish.
Like Cheryl says other smoked fish works, I've also used smokies or kippers [really need to get all the wee bones out of a kipper first though]. Though as they tend to be heavier smoked you can use less of them & bulk it out with good plain white fish. The smokies & kippers can make the soup a little oily though. Is smoked cod available in your area? I know its common in some parts.
@@Getpojke I had just gone looking for the haddock after seeing Cheryl's post on Instagram about the upcoming recipe for this dish. Now that I'm looking for a smoked white fish, I'm pretty sure I can find a substitute. Thank you so much for your thoughtful tips and suggestions! Very much appreciated!
@@thommurphy1721 I live in the Midwest. Just called a few fushmoners and no luck with haddock. Trader Joe's does have a really good smoked trout so I am going to try soup with that.
I'm not sure if I can find smoked fish where I am but will try. Love the photo at end of the Isle of Arran - I have stayed there for a couple of nights💖.
Delicious as always, Cheryl! I've made your Cullen skink recipe (from your previous video) numerous times, and it's quickly turned into my favorite soup as well. I wonder, what prompted you to re-record this recipe?
Do you have a very easy recipe for chicken and sweetcorn soup please? Would prefer raw chicken as I would like to cook and freeze. Thank you so much...... video would be good as well..... love your channel
In fairness, that’s not really a soup is it? It’s more like a stew. If you are making a soup I think it needs more liquid, even a chowder has a bit more liquid than that? I’d be tempted to either use more milk and cream, or, use much less potato. But it still looks delicious 😋
Cullen Skink ..... what a name! Doesn't 'sound' very appetizing does it? Not as charming as 'bubble & squeak'..... it sounds like it's made from eels & seaweed by wild men of the shores.
Thank you for highlighting this wonderful Scottish dish.
I love day-after meals the most. It's like all the flavours were aquantancies and then became friends over night in the fridge🤗🤭
What a lovely rainy day meal, giving both comfort and satisfaction! Thank you. 👍 My mum used to make a great fish custard with smoked haddock. She always served it with new potatoes and green veg. 👍😊

I think every Highland family have our own version of a Cullen Skink recipe and all taste great 😊 x

oh aye one ah my fav soups
I’m the only fish lover in my family, so I’m just going to have to find it in a restaurant somewhere and order it! 😋
I had Cullen Skink on holiday in Scotland and it was amazing! This one looks beautiful!
Looks sooo delicious and comforting especially for when the cooler weather comes. I'm hoping to find some smoked fish to try this one out. 🤗
Thanks! Looks delicious as always x
Thank you so much Madison 😊 I hope you're well...have a fab day x
It is a lovely and filling soup 😊

Smoked haddock from Canada is 93 dollars for 2 lbs thanks for the tip about liquid smoke
@@cynthiabjornsen2757 wow! That’s expensive 👀 💕

I am off to Scotland in a month. My favorite place to visit.
Oh wonderful! Hope you have an amazing trip my friend :)

It's really just for the smoked flavour Thom :) so I think it would be absolutely fine to use another smoked white fish.

Th icky sluppy taste is amazing
That looks so nice and so easy to make. Only problem is I don’t like fish unless it’s cod fishfingers!!
The heartogram tattoo and Cullen skink!
The last time I made this, I used frozen leeks from Tesco.
Do you have a very easy recipe for chicken and sweetcorn soup please? Would prefer raw chicken as I would like to cook and freeze.
Thank you so much...... video would be good as well..... love your channel
Do you have a air fryer great channel
Лайк и подписка👍
Cheryl, you are so cruel - we can't get smoked fish here where we are in Spain, otherwise I'd be cooking this today or tomorrow.
😶😭
Could add a pack of parsley sauce
The best soup on the planet but mine doesn't use cream. Only milk.
Don't forget......
In fairness, that’s not really a soup is it? It’s more like a stew. If you are making a soup I think it needs more liquid, even a chowder has a bit more liquid than that? I’d be tempted to either use more milk and cream, or, use much less potato. But it still looks delicious 😋

Too much potato. Makes very heavy soup.
