Potato and Mixed Fish Soup Recipe

I have been stuck in the snow these past few days, hence no posts. But today I've had a chance to connect and today's recipe is for a classic fish and potato soup. Excellent for using up some of those freezer stores and great for warming you up!

Potato and Mixed Fish Soup Recipe

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

2 tbsp vegetable oil
450g (1 lb) small new potatoes, scrubbed and halved
1 bunch of spring onions, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
225ml (1 cup) dry white wine
600ml (2 1/2 cups) fish stock
225g (1/2 lb) white fish fillet, skinned and cubed
225g (1/2 lb) smoked cod fillet, skinned and cubed
2 tomatoes, blanched, peeled, de-seeded and chopped
100g (3 1/2 oz) cooked and peeled prawns (shrimp)
150ml (3/5 cup) double cream
2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, finely shredded

Method:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan. When hot add the halved new potatoes, sliced spring onions and bell pepper along with the garlic. Fry the mixture gently for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Now add the white wine and the fish stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook gently for about 12 minutes. Stir in the cubed fish and the tomato pieces. Bring back to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes more, or until the fish is done through.

Now stir in the prawns and the cream. Cook for about 2 minutes then add the basil and cook for 1 minute more.

Divide the soup between four warmed bowls and serve.

For a healthier version, natural yoghurt can be substituted for the cream.
