Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large smoked fish fillets (haddock or cod)
2 cups potatoes, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 large carrot, diced
1 onion, diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 cup tasty cheese
mustard (to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Put all the veggies in a large stock pot.
Cover with water; add a tablespoon stock powder. (Or use fish or chicken stock).
Simmer until soft.
Place 2 large smoked cod, or haddock fillets, skin side up, on top of the vegies and simmer about 15 minutes.
In a frypan, make up a thick white sauce using ABOUT 3 tablespoons butter and flour, and 2 cups milk.
Add one teaspoon mustard, (I like seeded mustard).
One tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
One cup tasty cheese.
And fresh black pepper to taste.
Stir the soup to break up the fish, and add the cheese sauce, stir to combine.
Opt; I like to add about a cup of chopped peeled green prawns when I add the cheese sauce.
You can add any other vegetables that you have on hand; this is just the BASIC recipe.
