Servings: persons

2 lbs medium-sized leeks, trimmed, split, washed, chopped
1 None medium parsnip, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 lbs red bliss potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tbsp ginger, peeled and grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling over bread
2 tbsp water
3 cups fish stock
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp parsley, chopped
1/2 cup cream (optional)
4 oz flaked smoked fish
None None smoked paprika, for serving
None None Croutons
None None sliced ciabatta
None None sea salt, to sprinkle

1
Put leeks, parsnip, potatoes, ginger and garlic in a soup pot with oil and 2 tbsp of water. Set over low heat. Cover with a lid and cook gently for 30 mins without browning. Stir occasionally and add a little more water if vegetables start to stick.
2
Add stock, 2 cups of water and salt and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer gently, partially covered with a lid, for 45 minutes, until vegetables are very tender.
3
Meanwhile, make the croutons by cutting the slices of ciabatta into cubes. Place cubes in a shallow, ovenproof tray and drizzle with a little oil. Bake until golden in an preheated 400u00b0F oven for about 10 mins. Sprinkle with sea salt and set aside.
4
Cool soup for 10 mins then transfer 3 cups to a food processor with the parsley. Process until smooth. Return blended soup to the pot and mix it in. To make a thicker soup, puree more of it. Reheat, adding cream, if using.
5
Gently add the smoked fish, but don't stir or it will break apart. Serve piping hot, dusted with paprika, and topped with croutons.
