Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 sprigs fresh rosemary
20 sprigs fresh thyme
2 whole dried bay leaves
12 whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups total)
1 large fennel bulb, cut into medium dice (about 2 cups total)
2 quarts heavy cream
1 pound smoked haddock, flaked (about 2 cups total)*
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
*If smoked haddock is unavailable, substitute smoked cod or mackerel. Alternatively, use fresh haddock, cod, or halibut, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups total).
Special Equipment
10- by 10-inch square of cheesecloth, kitchen string

Steps:

  • Wrap the rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns in the cheesecloth and secure with the kitchen string. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and fennel and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add the herb package, and simmer until the soup is reduced by about one third, 20 to 25 minutes. Add haddock, cover, and simmer an additional 5 minutes. Season to taste. Divide soup among 8 bowls, making sure to evenly distribute the fish and vegetables. Sprinkle each dish with dill and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my smoked haddock soup, but it turned out terrible. The broth was watery and flavorless, and the vegetables were mushy. I think I might have used the wrong kind of haddock, or maybe I didn't cook it for long enough.

This smoked haddock soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The broth was a bit thin, and the vegetables were a bit overcooked. I think I would have preferred it if the recipe had included more herbs and spices.
