Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium onion, cut in 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup olive oil
8 medium cloves garlic, smashed, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 grams stem saffron (two 2 1/2-gram packages)
1/2 cup dry white wine, preferably Macon or sauvignon blanc
1 1/2 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes in puree, strained and lightly crushed
5 cups extra-rich fish stock (see recipe)
1/4 teaspoon dry thyme
1/2 bay leaf
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup anise liquor, like Pernod

Steps:

  • In a medium stockpot, cook onion in oil over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until translucent. Stir in garlic, and cook for additional 7 minutes. Stir in chili powder and cayenne. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Soak saffron in 1/4 cup white wine for a few minutes. Stir saffron wine, tomatoes, fish stock, thyme and bay leaf into onions. Bring to boil, lower heat, and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf. Pass soup through food mill fitted with medium disk. Return soup to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Soup can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated.
  • In small saucepan, heat anise liquor. Set it on fire, and allow alcohol to burn off. Pour anise liquor into soup. Stir in additional wine. Bring to boil. Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I had to make this soup without it. It was still delicious!

This soup is a waste of time and money. It's not even worth trying.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really fishy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This soup is way too expensive to make. I think I'll stick to my usual fish soup recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

I love the crusty bread that is served with this soup. It's the perfect way to soak up all the delicious broth.

This is a great soup to make ahead of time. It reheats well and the flavor actually gets better the next day.
