    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by gathering all ingredients. Dice the potatoes, chop the onion, celery, and carrots, and cut the haddock fillets into bite-sized pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 3

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Add the diced potatoes, fish stock, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

    Add Haddock and Milk

    Gently stir in the haddock pieces and milk. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the haddock is cooked through and flakes easily.
