Preparation
Step 1
Slice the bacon and add to the saucepan with a splash of olive oil. Once golden, turn down the heat, add the spring onions, celery and stir.
Step 2
Add the potatoes to the pan after a few minutes, stirring often.
Step 3
Cut the kernels from the corn cob (place the cob upright on a tea towel and run a knife gently down each side. Use the tea towel to gather up the kernels which go everywhere!). Now add these kernels to the pan.
Step 4
Flake the smoked haddock into the saucepan (ensuring there aren’t any bones left in), adding the bay leaves, thyme and stock.
Step 5
Place the lid on the saucepan, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Turn the heat down low, remove the bay leaves and the thyme sprigs. Then, add the 150ml of single cream as well as the peeled prawns and stir well.
Step 7
If desired, use a potato masher to roughly mash half of the mixture before combining it all together again.
Step 8
Ladle into bowls and top with fresh parsley.
