Cullen skink - Super delicious Scottish fish soup 🎣 🏴 🇬🇧

Many people found the combination of milk and fish a bit weird but this dish is 1000% worth trying and is definitely a favourite! Perfect for the cold weather. 🍲
I’ve been to Scotland 4 times and every time I go, I make sure to have Cullen Skink.
I thought it’d be more complicated to make, but I challenged myself and decided to give it a go.
I followed Tom Kitchin’s recipe with a few tweaks.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
You can use dyed smoked haddock, I think the main difference is that the undyed keeps the white-ish colour of the soup.
- 2
First thing, place the fish as a whole in the milk OFF THE HEAT, skin side up, and set aside
- 3
Dice the onion and leek. Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Make sure they’re all small equally cut cubes so they cook evenly around the same time.
- 4
Now put the pot in which you have the milk and fish on medium heat
- 5
In another big pot melt butter with a drizzle of oil, and start cooking the onion, with a pinch of salt until translucent but not brown! Add the leeks and cook for 2-3 minutes before you add the potatoes
- 6
Back to the milk and haddock - before the milk starts boiling, take the fish out very carefully and place it on a plate. The fish should be almost cooked.
- 7
Shred the fish, keep the skin, pour the hot milk over the veggies with the fish skin as it’s full of flavour + extra smokiness! Let everything simmer gently for 10 minutes
- 8
With a masher, roughly mash the potatoes. Mashing some of the potatoes will give the soup a nice thicker texture.
- 9
Add the fish when the potato is cooked, and let it simmer for an extra 5-7 minutes.
- 10
Taste and add salt and black pepper as desired. And that’s it! (You can now remove the fish skin if you like as it’s not edible)

Hillbilly Miso Soup Hillbilly Miso Soup
I call it hillbilly miso soup because I live in a rural area where unfortunately not even our walmart carries miso paste or dashi, let alone seaweed. We are far from the coast meaning it's very difficult to get anything fresh. So I had to makeshift a little bit to pull this off and at least have it taste alike to Miso soup. All ingredients can be altered for preference or spices added. runsteady -

Sig's German Pea Soup Sig's German Pea Soup
This is a soup Tony had taken a real liking too when he was stationed in Germany. I used to cook it once a year for him, he recently asked if I would make it for him and some friends for a sports evening. . In Germany we do not tend to flavour our soup with mint. It is best served with a homemade bread that is generously spread with butter and a ice cold pilsner Sigrun -

Beetroot and Cream Cheese Anti-Aging Soup Beetroot and Cream Cheese Anti-Aging Soup
The most famous dish using beetroot is Borscht, but you have to spend time and effort to make it, braising chunky meat pieces slowly, etc. But taking the nutrients of beetroot into account, I would like to eat it more easily and more often. I will try to stay healthy and beautiful with this easy and simple beetroot soup.This time, I used fresh beetroot, so the color of the soup turned brighter and redder. You can use parboiled or bottled beetroot as well. You may find it has an earthy smell, but that's one of beetroot's characteristics. Adding more cream cheese makes the smell less noticeable.

Sweet Hambone Soup Sweet Hambone Soup
When I make a soup, I am one of those toss it in kind of people. So, this recipe is a very close approximation of ingredients. A little more broth may be needed or a bit more of this or that. It's really all up to you and how thick or thin you want your soup or how many veggies you like! The hambone from your holiday ham can be saved and frozen until your ready to make your soup! Also, save some of the ham and add it to the soup! You can also get a hambone from your butcher or even a Honey Baked Ham store. Valarie -
