Method
Step 1

In a medium pan on a medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and add the onions, carrot, celery, chilli and bay leaf, and sweat for 10-12 minutes taking care not to colour (pop a lid on and turn the heat down if they start to colour).

Step 2

In the meantime, in a small frying pan, toast off the spices and set aside.

Step 3

When the vegetables are soft, add the toasted spices and stir in.

Step 4

Add the chicken stock and the diced potatoes and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are almost cooked.

Step 5

Add the cream and bring to the boil.

Step 6

Add the haddock and simmer for five minutes, then add the coriander and stir in.
