Method

Preparing the Soup

  1. 1

    Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and leek, cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Build the Base

    Add the diced tomatoes, fish stock, saffron, and bay leaf to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Add the Seafood

    Once the soup is simmering, add the white fish fillets, shrimp, mussels, and clams. Cover the pot and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the seafood is cooked through and the shells have opened.

Serving the Soup

    Step 4: Garnish and Serve
