Sponsored post: Time for some New Year TLC?

Future Admin January 9, 2014

Do you need some wholesome, hearty food to get you through a cold and wintry January?  This delicious soup, brought to you by Yeo Valley, is the ultimate comfort food to keep you warm and cosy. And, what's more, it’s super speedy to make and healthy to boot! Why not put that boot camp on hold for another few days and treat yourselves to a little soul food...? Smoked Haddock and Leek Soup

Serves 4 / Prep Time 5 mins / Cooking Time 25 mins

Ingredients

2tsp oil

3 sticks of celery diced

400g potatoes cut into small cubes

1litre vegetable stock

2 bay leaves

2 leeks cut into disks

200g Sweetcorn, tinned or frozen

600g Smoked Haddock, skinned and cut into bite sized chunks

200ml 0% Yeo Valley Natural Yeogurt

Small bunch of parsley

What to do:

1.  In a large saucepan gently heat the oil then add the celery, put the lid on a sweat for 5mins. Add the stock to the pan along with the potato and bay leaves and simmer for 10 mins until the potatoes are tender.

2.  Add the leeks, sweetcorn and haddock and a good grind of black pepper. Bring back to a simmer and cook for a further 5mins until the fish is cooked through.

3. Remove from the heat, stir in the Yeogurt and check the seasoning then divide between 4 bowls and top with the parsley leaves.

 Notes:  For a change use half smoked haddock and half prawns.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
