METHOD
Remove the skin and bones from the fish and discard. Break into large bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan and add the leeks, onions, garlic, thyme, the bay leaf and a good pinch of salt. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft but not coloured, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes, stock, cream and milk, season and bring to the boil then simmer uncovered until the potatoes are tender. Remove the tough core from the silverbeet and thinly slice the leaves. Add to the soup with the sweetcorn and smoked fish and simmer for 5 minutes until the silverbeet is tender.
