• 1 L vegetable stock
• 125 ml dry white wine
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1 large carrot, diced
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 fruit lemon, juiced
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning and preparing your seafood. Cut the white fish fillets into large chunks and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to break down.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable stock and white wine. Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Add the mussels or clams to the pot, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes. Discard any mussels or clams that do not open.

Step 6

Carefully stir in the white fish pieces and shrimp. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the fish flakes easily and the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve the Very Fishy Soup hot, with crusty bread on the side for dipping if desired. Enjoy!
