Liden Family Scandinavian Fish Soup Recipe

Ingredients

1 finely chopped yellow onion

1 leek

3 sliced garlic cloves

1/4 of a finely chopped celery root

1/4 of a finely chopped fennel root

1.5 grams saffron

1 tsp. fennel seeds

20 oz. vegetable bullion

10 oz. white wine

3 peeled & diced tomatoes

7 oz. heavy cream

30 mussels

1/2 - 1lb. shrimp

1 filet of white fish (monk fish is recommended)

milk

flour

salt & pepper

Preparation

Saute until tender the first 5 ingredients. I use a food processor on pulse to quicken the recipe preparation time. Add the saffron, fennel seeds, vegetable bullion, and white wine. Let boil for 10 minutes. (The soup can be prepared in advance to this stage).

Add the tomatoes, cream, shellfish and fish until cooked through. Use milk and flour to thicken to your liking. Salt and pepper to taste.
