How to make fish soup:

1. To start with this grandmother’s recipe for fish and seafood soup, in a pot, pour a splash of oil and add the fish bones. Peel the prawns and add the heads and shells to the pot. Reserve the peeled prawns. Add the whole garlic and the leek, stir everything together. A couple of minutes later, pour water into the pan until the bones are covered and cook for 30 minutes. Strain the fish broth and reserve.
2. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Add them to another pan with a splash of oil. Let them poach
3. When the onion is transparent, add the paprika and tomato. Let cook a few minutes.
4. Pour a saucepan of the fish stock into this sauce. Add everything to a food processor and blend.
5. Pour the fish broth into a saucepan. Add the previously cleaned clams and mussels. Let everything cook until the mussels and clams open. Add salt to taste and cook for 10 more minutes.
6. Tip: remove the mussels and clams that do not open.
7. Cut the fish into pieces and the prawns as well. You can leave them whole or in pieces.
8. Add the fish and prawns to the broth, leave it for 3-4 more minutes and turn off. With the heat it will finish cooking. If you like the traditional fish soup more done, you can leave it longer. Serve and enjoy your fish broth!
9. Tip: if you want it to be thicker, add a little flour dissolved in the broth and bring to a boil.
