Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

2 medium leeks, sliced (300-350g)

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 medium waxy potatoes (300g), peeled and diced

2 tsp fresh thyme leaves

1 litre vegetable stock - increased volume

2 smoked haddock fillets (300g), skin removed

150g spinach leaves

100ml milk or plant-based milk alternative

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute more
  2. Add the diced potatoes and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes until the potatoes are tender
  3. Gently place the smoked haddock into the pan and simmer for 5–6 minutes, until it flakes easily. Lift the fish out, break it into chunks, and return to the soup
  4. Stir in the spinach and milk, cooking for 1–2 minutes until the spinach wilts
  5. Season to taste and serve warm in deep bowls.

Cooking Tips

Add a handful of sweetcorn or peas for colour and sweetness. Swap smoked haddock for salmon or cod if preferred. To make ahead, cook the base (leeks, garlic, potatoes, stock) and add the fish and spinach just before serving.
