Equipment
- Handheld Blender (Optional)
Ingredients
- 2 Smoked Haddock Fillets
- 2 cups Water
- 1 Onion Finely Chopped
- 1 Leek Finely Chopped
- 2 Potatoes Peeled And Diced
- 2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- Salt And Pepper To Taste

Instructions
- Place the smoked haddock fillets in a large pot with 2 cups of water.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
- Remove the fish from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, leek, and diced potatoes. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.

- Simmer the soup for another 5-10 minutes, until heated through. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
