Liden Family Scandinavian Fish Soup

• 1 finely chopped yellow onion
• 1 leek
• 3 sliced garlic cloves
• 1/4 of a finely chopped celery root
• 1/4 of a finely chopped fennel root
• 1.5 grams saffron
• 1 tsp. fennel seeds
• 20 oz. vegetable bullion
• 10 oz. white wine
• 3 peeled & diced tomatoes
• 7 oz. heavy cream
• 30 mussels
• 1/2 - 1lb. shrimp
• 1 filet of white fish (monk fish is recommended)
• milk
• flour
• salt & pepper

1. Saute until tender the first 5 ingredients. I use a food processor on pulse to quicken the recipe preparation time. Add the saffron, fennel seeds, vegetable bullion, and white wine. Let boil for 10 minutes. (The soup can be prepared in advance to this stage).
2. Add the tomatoes, cream, shellfish and fish until cooked through. Use milk and flour to thicken to your liking. Salt and pepper to taste.
