Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup finely chopped leeks
1 1/2 cups diced, peeled boiling potatoes
3 cups milk
2 whole smoked trout, about 7 ounces each, skinned and boned
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Add leeks and saute until tender but not brown.
  • Add potatoes and half the milk. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Using a fork, roughly mash the potatoes, leaving some pieces, then add remaining milk.
  • Break the trout into one-inch pieces and add it to the saucepan. As the soup cooks and is stirred, the pieces will become smaller.
  • Simmer about 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning and season judiciously with salt and generously with pepper. Stir in the cream if desired.
  • Serve at once or reheat before serving and sprinkle chives on top.
