Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, split, cleaned, and diced
  • 5 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 idaho potatoes, peeled/diced
  • 3 to 4 slices french baguette, 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons cracked black peppercorns
  • 1.5 kg mixed fish (any variety or mixture will do) cleaned, peeled or boned, and cut small cubes (snapper fillet, small shrimp, etc)
  • 15 g finely chopped garlic
  • 200 g canned plum tomatoes, drained, seeded, and diced
  • 130 ml pure olive oil
  • 130 ml dry white wine
  • 3 l water
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot, add the onions, leeks, and celery, and saute until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes, saffron, and seasonings. Stir about 2 minutes, then add the white wine and cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until almost all the liquid has evaporated, before adding the water.
  • 2
    Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 45 minutes. At the end of 45 minutes, add the potatoes and cook 20 minutes longer, or until the potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300º F.
  • 3
    While the broth is simmering, make the Peppery Croutons: Brush one side of each French bread slice with olive oil, sprinkle with cracked pepper, and toast in the oven until crisp (about 12 minutes).
  • 4
    After the potatoes have simmered 20 minutes, add the fish. Reheat to just below a boil and cook at a strong simmer 3 to 5 minutes, until the fish is cooked but not yet flaking apart. Remove the bay leaves, taste for seasoning, and serve immediately, garnished with Peppery Croutons.
