This soup recipe celebrates seafood in all its glory. Luscious mussels and clams, cooked in white wine, finished with croutons and garlic mayonaise

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Soup, Starter, Supper

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 23

200g mussels , washed, scrubbed and debearded
200g clams , washed
200ml dry white wine
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion , diced
½ fennel bulb , finely sliced
1 carrot , sliced
6 garlic cloves , crushed
pinch of saffron strands
1 tbsp Pernod
400g can chopped tomatoes
1 ½ tbsp brandy
1 tsp Tabasco
juice 1 lemon
drizzle of olive oil , to serve
1 ½ tsp Dijon mustard
1 ½ tsp white wine vinegar
1 egg yolk
1 large garlic clove , grated
50ml good-quality olive oil
50ml vegetable oil
½ baguette
drizzle of good-quality olive oil

Steps:

  • First, throw out any mussels and clams with broken or open shells. Heat a large saucepan over a high heat and, once smoking, add the mussels, clams and white wine. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and rapidly steam for 3 mins. Once the shells have opened, tip the shellfish into a colander lined with muslin cloth, with a bowl underneath to catch the full- flavoured shellfish stock. Discard any mussels or clams that have not opened.
  • Heat the oil in the saucepan and add the onion, fennel, carrot and garlic. Cook until softened and browned, about 12 mins, then add the saffron and shellfish stock. Simmer for 5 mins to infuse the saffron. Add the Pernod, tomatoes and 100ml water, and simmer for 5 mins more.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Pick the clams and mussels from the shells, reserving some for presentation, and set aside.
  • To make the mayonnaise, put the mustard, vinegar, egg yolk and garlic in a bowl. Use a stick blender to blitz while slowly drizzling in both oils until thick and glossy. This will take about 5 mins. Chill until needed.
  • For the croutons, thinly slice the baguette and lay on a large baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Bake in the oven for 12-14 mins until golden and crisp.
  • Once the soup has thickened, transfer to a blender and blitz until very smooth, then pass through a fine sieve. Finish with the brandy, Tabasco and lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • To serve, return the soup to the heat to warm through, then drop in the mussels and clams for 1 min. Ladle the soup into two large bowls, drizzle with a little olive oil, and serve the croutons and garlic mayonnaise on the side.

ONE-POT CREAMY SHELLS AND SAUSAGE



One-Pot Creamy Shells and Sausage image

Just like your favorite boxed shells and cheese, this recipe turns out a dinner that's creamy, irresistible and made in a single pot. But unlike the boxed version, this upgrade will fill up the whole family-thanks to the addition of hearty Italian sausage and Muir Glen™ tomato basil pasta sauce. Cooking the whole meal in a single pot isn't just convenient, it also allows you to build flavor as you go. Here's what we mean: It all starts with browning the sausage until it's cooked through. Removing the sausage but not the rendered fat it leaves behind adds deep savory flavor to the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes that get sautéed next. After your aromatics, you'll add the tomato sauce, which is handy since it'll help deglaze the pan and integrate more flavor into your sauce. With the addition of the broth, you'll have enough liquid to cook your pasta. Once the pasta is cooked through, all that's left is adding the cream and cooked sausage. Serve this up with shredded Parmesan and basil, and you've got a delectable dinner that might just become a part of your regular rotation.
