Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion large chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cumin ground
  • 1/2 tsp coriander seeds ground
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or for more heat chili flakes (see notes)
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric ground
  • 1 pinch saffron (pinch = about 8 threads of saffron) (optional)
  • 110 ml white wine
  • 800 g tomatoes whole peeled canned
  • 500 ml water
  • 500 g fish cut in cubes (see notes)
  • 500 g shellfish (shrimp, scampi, mussels or clams)

Instructions

  • Chop the onion.
  • Pour olive oil into a large casserole over a medium heat. Once casserole is hot, add the chopped onions.
  • Simmer the onions a few minutes until they are translucent.
  • Add minced garlic and continue to simmer another minute.
  • Add the dried spices and herbs. Continue to simmer a minute or two. (Fresh herbs and spices should be added at the last minute.)
  • Add the white wine and stir. Simmer a few minutes. The white wine should clean the bottom of the casserole
  • Add the tomatoes and continue to simmer with the casserole uncovered until the tomatoes break down into a sauce.
  • Add the water and bring it to a boil. Turn down the heat slightly.
  • Add the cut fish and shellfish. Continue to simmer until the fish becomes opaque and shellfish are cooked (shrimp should be opaque; the mussels and clams should have their shells open).
  • If you are using fresh coriander, add it in the bowls as you serve it. Enjoy it!

Notes

  1.  Feel free to make this soup as spicy as you would like.  Instead of cayenne powder, you can add red chili flakes, or chili peppers.
  2. I try to use about half fish, half shellfish.  You can use any ratio you like, but try to use a variety.  Use firm fish, such as cod, monkfish or bass.  For shellfish, try shrimp, scampi, mussels, and clams.  Each will add their own flavor to the soup.
