Method

  1. Put the haddock and white fish into a large saucepan with the stock and bay leaves. Slowly bring the stock back to the boil over a medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Lift out the fish with a slotted spoon and leave to cool slightly on a plate. Strain the stock into a jug, discarding any bits left in the sieve. Break the fish into flakes, discarding any skin or any bones, and set aside.
  3. Return the pan to a medium heat and add the leeks and 3 tbsp of water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and strained stock, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Leave to cool slightly.
  4. Scoop half the potato mixture into your food processor, add the milk and blitz until smooth (or use a bowl and a stick blender). Pour the mixture back into the pan and return to simmer.
  5. Stir the flaked fish, prawns, sugar snaps, dill and parsley into the soup and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the prawns are pink and cooked and the fish has heated through. Season to taste and scatter over a little more dill to serve.
