Salad blue potato and haddock chowder

Method

1. To make the dumplings, beat the egg and thyme into the mashed potato. Add the flour and season with salt and pepper.

4. For the chowder, heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion, carrot and leeks. Cook for 5 minutes or so, until softened but not coloured.

5. Add the stock, bring to the boil, and simmer for 5 minutes.

6. Cut the haddock into chunks and add to the broth.

7. Carefully drop in the dumplings and simmer for 5 minutes.

8. Roughly chop the tomatoes and stir into the chowder. Serve straight away.
