Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup finely diced fennel
1/2 cup finely diced celery
2 cups chopped onions
1 48 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups water

Large pinch saffron

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, fennel, celery and onion and saute for 5 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Add tomatoes and their juices, 4 cups water, 1/2 cup white wine, saffron, thyme and kosher salt to the pot. Simmer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, steam the nussels in the remaining 1/2 cup wine in a large skillet just until they open. Allow to cool slightly and then remove the mussels from the shells and strain the liquid.

Serve soup with sprinkle of chopped chives and a selection of baguette crisps.

This soup was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less seafood or with a different type of seafood.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less chili flakes.

The soup was good, but it was a little too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less salt.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this soup. The flavors were so well-balanced and the soup was so creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this soup again, even if I had to use imitation crab.
