Cooks Note

- You can use dyed smoked haddock or undyed for this dish; I prefer undyed when I can get it, for a more natural colour, but either tastes just as good.

- You could replace the vegetable stock with fish stock if you wish, although I prefer to use a milder vegetable stock so that I can taste the full flavour of the haddock.

- I used a lower fat milk and crème fraiche without compromising on the creamy taste, but feel free to go for the full fat versions if you want the chowder to be even more luxurious!

If after all that you would still like to include quinoa, good quality yoghurt from grass-fed cows, soaked legumes or even some rice to your diet then just be sure to keep these stocked up at home.
