Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 lb sea scallops, tough ligament removed from side of each if attached.
1 cup white fish stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 small shallot, chopped
1 thyme sprig
3/4 cup creme fraiche
2 large egg yolks
2 Tbsp finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Pat scallops dry, then quarter and season with 1/8 tsp of salt. Boil fish stock, wine, shallot, thyme, and 1/2 tsp salt in a heavy medium sauce pan, covered, 5 minutes. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. Return liquid to saucepan. Bring to a boil, then stir in scallops and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove scallops with a slotted spoon and keep warm, covered. Reserve cooking liquid in saucepan. Meanwhile, simmer creme fraiche in a small heavy saucepan until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Add to cooking liquid in saucepan and simmer 3 minutes. Whisk together yolks, 1/4 cup creme fraiche miture, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a bowl. Add half of remaining creme fraiche mixture to yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking, then return to saucepan, whisking. Cook over very low heat, whisking, until just slightly thickened, about 1 minute (do not boil). Remove from heat and season with salt. Divide scallops among 4 warmed small soup bowls and sprinkle with chives. Pour soup over scallops and serve immediately. ***Eggs are not fully cooked in this recipe.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the broth was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend reducing the amount of salt by half.
