I've been a huge fan of Manx kippers since I first went to the Isle of Man as a
child. I've tried others but the Manx ones really are the best."

Then add in the flour, followed by the cream, vermouth, milk and bay leaf. Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the potato is soft (about 20 minutes), whilst seasoning to taste.
While the soup is cooking, you can prepare the scallops - rinse and pat dry before cutting the queen scallops into large cubes.
