Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan, tip in the leeks and fry gently for 5 mins until softened, but not coloured. Add the potatoes and cook for a further min. Pour in stock and lemon zest, cover and simmer for 12-15 mins or until the potatoes are tender. With a slotted spoon, remove half the potatoes and leeks from the stock and set aside.

  • step 2

    Transfer the remaining potatoes, leeks, stock and milk into a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth. Pour back into the pan, add the sweetcorn, fish and reserved vegetables. Cover and gently heat for 3-4 mins until the fish is just cooked through – don’t boil. Stir in chives and cream, if using, then season to taste.

RECIPE TIPS
FREEZING

Can be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge, then heat through very gently on the hob or in the microwave to avoid overcooking the fish.

Easy, tasty comforting. Liquidising half the stock and leek mix made a good thick base for the fish and sweet corn. I used cod and smoked haddock, but I’m sure othe fish mixtures would also be good. Next time I might add a little turmeric to give colour.

Delicious - I've used this recipe loads. If my partner had his way we'd eat this every other night! I use about 2-3 packs of fish pie mix and a pack of prawns instead of the fish qtys in the recipe; I find including some smoked fish is a must for flavour. I tend to use frozen sweetcorn in a much…

I make this all the time, it's beautiful & my 3 & 1 year old love it. The only changes that I make is I replace the milk with cream to make it richer & I just mash it up a bit with a potato masher rather than blend half of it.

Found this a bit bland. I think I'll either add in some smoked bacon,which I've had in chowders in the States, or just look for another recipe next time.

I wasn't keen on the evaporated milk substitution but I blended some of the sweetcorn to add to the thickness.
