    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.

    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 ...!

  • @Getpojke

    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.

    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.

    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! :)

    • @makelikeatree1696
      @makelikeatree1696 2 роки тому +2

      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!

    • @Getpojke
      @Getpojke 2 роки тому +1

      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.

    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 😋
