A tasty and hearty chowder that can be whipped up in half an hour. When in season, this is fantastic with fresh sweetcorn. Feel free to substitute smoked haddock for the mackerel.Recipe
Heat a large saucepan and drop in the butter. Once melted, add the leeks and fry on a medium heat until softened.
Meanwhile chop the stalks of the parsley as finely as possible and add to the pan. Reserve the leaves for sprinkling over the finished soup.
Pour in the milk and stock and stir in the potatoes. Bring to the boil and simmer for a 10 minutes. Flake in the smoked mackerel and stir in the sweetcorn. Simmer for another few minutes. Add plenty of black pepper and serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
