Smoked Salmon And Leek Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Bring clam juice to simmer in medium skillet. Add salmon; cover and simmer until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer salmon to plate; reserve clam juice. Flake salmon into small pieces.
• Mix butter and flour in small bowl until well blended. Cook bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add leeks to drippings in saucepan; sauté 3 minutes. Add potato and reserved clam juice and bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk and bring to boil. Whisk in flour mixture. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk and bring to boil. Whisk in flour mixture. Reduce heat; simmer until soup thickens slightly, whisking frequently, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream, chives, salmon and bacon; simmer until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Lay the haddock in a deep frying pan and pour over the milk. Cover and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave undisturbed for about 5 mins, until the haddock is just cooked. Lift the haddock from the milk, remove the skin and bones and fl ake onto a plate. Reserve the milk for later.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan (preferably non-stick) and gently fry the bacon until starting to brown. Add the celery, leeks, bay leaves and potatoes, and cook for a couple of mins. Pour in the stock and reserved milk. Bring to the simmer and cook for 10 mins.
• Add the flaked haddock, sweetcorn and cream. Season with pepper (it shouldn't need salt) and stir in the parsley. Heat through gently, then serve.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large saucepan and add the leeks and bay leaf. Cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins or until the leek is really soft, then stir through the potatoes until coated in the butter. Pour over the stock and cream and bring to the simmer, then gently bubble for 10-15 mins until the potatoes are really tender. If freezing at this stage, slightly under-cook the potatoes, then defrost and bring back to a simmer to finish cooking them and continue the recipe.
• Add two-thirds of the smoked salmon, stir through and season. Serve the soup in deep bowls with the remaining smoked salmon and snipped chives on the top.
