Ingredients

500g Smoked Haddock, skinned and chopped
100g Smoked Streaky Bacon, derinded and chopped
500ml milk
500ml double cream
300g potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 120g tins of Cockles
1 tin of sweetcorn
1 small onion, chopped
1 lemon, zested
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
A drizzle of Cotswold Gold Rapeseed Oil
Halen Môn Sea Salt and black pepper, to taste

Gently fry the Smoked Streaky Bacon, onion & garlic together in a heavy bottom saucepan with a small amount of Cotswold Gold Rapeseed Oil until softened.

Add the Cockles and sweetcorn (juice & all), potatoes, bay leaf and lemon zest with Halen Môn Sea Salt and black pepper.

Pour in the cream and milk & simmer for about half an hour until the potatoes are tender and the soup is rich and creamy. 

Lightly crush the potatoes to thicken the consistency.

Add the Smoked Haddock and simmer for five minutes until the fish is opaque.

Stir in the parsley and serve immediately with fresh, crusty bread.

You could substitute the Smoked Haddock for flaked Oak Salmon Roasted Salmon or chopped Smoked Salmon Trims.
