How to make Homemade Fish and Seafood Soup:
- We make the fish broth by bringing the monkfish head (without guts) to a cold boil with the green leek and some parsley stems.
- After boiling for 1 hour, strain through a fine strainer and set aside.
- For the seafood cream: Finely chop the vegetables and poach.
- Add the tomato cut into segments, the heads and the shells of the prawns.
- We reserve the prawn meat for the soup.
- Flame with cognac, add the rice and wet with a liter of fumet.
- Let it boil until the rice is done and grind.
- Once crushed we pass everything through the strainer.
- We put this cream to boil with the toasted bread for half an hour.
- Add the diced fish, prawns and clams.
- Let it boil for 10 minutes and season with salt, adding more broth if we want it brothy or less broth if we like it creamy.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley.
