Ingredients

• 3/4 lb cod fillets, cut in chunks
• 2 medium, diced russet potatoes
• 1 large, diced yellow onion
• 2 ribs, diced celery
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups oyster crackers
• 1 tbsp total bay leaf, thyme, salt and white pepper

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Melt the butter and cook the onion and celery for 6 minutes until soft and translucent but not browned.
2. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute, then whisk in the broth until smooth with no lumps.
3. Add the potatoes, bay and thyme and simmer 12 minutes until a knife slips into a cube with no resistance.
4. Pour in the milk and cream and bring it back to a bare simmer; do not let it boil or it will break.
5. Slide in the cod and poach gently for 5 minutes until the chunks turn opaque and flake at a nudge.
6. Season with salt and white pepper, then ladle over a handful of oyster crackers in each bowl.
