Smoked Haddock Chowder (serves 6) by BBC Good Food
One of my favourite recipes from bbcgoodfood.com This really fills me up. If I am watching my calories then I half the amount of potatoes I use and add semi skimmed milk instead of whole milk. It doesn't make a massive difference to your INR if you want to use these substitutions. Freezes well too so a great one to stock pile!
