Huh?!? What in the world is a Cullen Skink chowder?  Turns out Cullen is the home of Cullen Skink, a smoked haddock soup which includes potatoes and onions. The town is in Scotland and it’s famous this potato and fish goodness. There are many recipes out there – some using mashed potatoes (often leftovers) in the soup and then some scrubbed new pototes or chunks of potatoes, but this one is a bit thinner. You can puree part of  of the base chowder it if you like in the blender or food processor if you like a smoother soup.
