Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz white fish
- 4 oz lobster chunks
- 4 oz shrimp peeled
- 8-10 shortneck clams
- 8-10 mussels
- 2 cups fish stock
- 2 cups diced tomatoes
- 1 cup onion chopped
- ½ cup fennel bulb chopped
- 4 tablespoons garlic minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- pinch saffron
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a soup pan over medium heat. Add the onions and fennel bulb, and sauté until they're just browning on the edges. Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and stir to combine. Simmer for 10-20 minutes, until the juices start to evaporate. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the fish stock into the pan and stir. Add the garlic, cayenne pepper, and saffron. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- While the soup simmers, wash the clams and mussels. Remove the shells from the shrimp and chop the white fish into one-inch-sized pieces.
- Starting with the mussels, press them into the soup, followed by the white fish and lobster chunks. Cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the shrimp. Gently press the shrimp into the soup and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink. Spritz the lemon juice over the soup and stir.
- Serve the soup with some crusty bread on a cool fall afternoon. Enjoy!
