Ingredients

  • 200 g smoked or candied salmon, flaked
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion and 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 2 cups corn kernels
  • 700 ml fish or chicken stock
  • 250 ml cream, butter, thyme, bay

Method

  1. 01

    Sweat the onion and celery in butter until soft but not coloured.

  2. 02

    Add the potato, thyme, bay and stock. Simmer 15 minutes until the potato gives.

  3. 03

    Crush a few potato pieces against the side of the pot to thicken the base.

  4. 04

    Add the corn and cream and warm through — don't boil it once the cream is in.

  5. 05

    Fold the flaked salmon in off the heat so it stays in pieces. Season and serve.

From the counter: Candied smoked steelhead nuggets make this sweeter and richer. Use a little less if you go that way.
