About Cullen skink

Browne Trading publishes this traditional Cullen skink as a Scottish soup for occasions such as Burns Night and St Andrew's Day. Smoked haddock, potatoes and onion form its centre, with milk and butter giving the broth its dairy richness.

The haddock flavours its poaching liquid, which is reused around the potatoes and softened onion. Bay and black pepper add seasoning, while fresh parsley supplies the final herb garnish.

Large flakes of fish remain among the potatoes in the finished soup. It is ladled into bowls and served with crusty bread alongside, preserving the thick chowder-like presentation described by the publisher.
