Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 oz white fish
  • 4 oz lobster chunks
  • 4 oz shrimp (peeled)
  • 8-10 shortneck clams
  • 8-10 mussels
  • 2 cups fish stock
  • 2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup fennel bulb (chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • pinch saffron
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt & pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Melt the butter in a soup pan over medium heat. Add the onions and fennel bulb and saute until 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 have started 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 ten minutes.
  • While the soup simmer, wash the calms and mussels. Remove the shells from the shrimp and chop the fish into one inch sized pieces.
  • Starting with the mussels, press them into the soup, followed by the fish and lobster. 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 are pink.
  • Serve soup along with some crusty bread on a cool fall afternoon. Enjoy!
