Step 1: You will need

  • 120 ml olive oil
  • 3 leeks, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 250 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 ltr fish stock
  • 250 g tinned tomatoes
  • 150 ml dry white wine
  • 5 ml cayenne pepper, to taste
  • 450 g white boneless fish, cod, sea bass or monkfish, cut into small chunks
  • 900 g mixture of crab, shrimp, and mussels, for mussels, scrubbed with the beards removed
  • fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large pot
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 ladle

Step 2: Gently fry the vegetables

Heat up the olive oil in a large pot and add the onions, garlic, leeks, celery and mushrooms. Cook until the onions are clear and soft.

Step 3: Add the stock

Next, add the stock, tinned tomatoes and white wine. Bring it all to simmering point, add the cayenne pepper and season according to taste.

Step 4: Add the fish to the pot

Put all the fish, including the shellfish with the shells still on, into the pot. This adds to the flavour of the soup. Continue to simmer until the fish is cooked; about fifteen to twenty minutes.

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Once the fish is thoroughly cooked, serve in bowls with sprinkled parsley to garnish. You could also serve this soup poured over pasta.

    Just made this and it was absolutely delicious. I made some changes to the recipe though. I didn't use mushrooms - I find putting mushrooms in a fish soup quite strange, do Italians really do that? I added some carrots and fresh tomatoes instead. I also added a couple bay leaves and some fresh thyme and rosemary for flavor. And don't skip the white wine - it really adds to the taste.

    I also added thyme, and tarragon along with worcestershire sauce to give it a little flavor. Also being in hungary added some paprika for color only. Was delicious.
