How to make Christmas fish soup
We prepare a white fish stock or a fumet cooking the fish heads and scrapes in water with the cut carrot and leek and a sprig of parsley, letting them simmer for 35 minutes over low heat. Once finished we strain the broth.
We prepare a second broth while we open the mussels and the chirlas that we will withdraw as they open and then use them as trips. We take advantage and we are removing the shells of the mussels. We strain the cooking broth well and join the previous broth.
For the sofrito, chop the onion, tomato and pepper well and let them cook in a pan with a little extra virgin olive oil. When it's done and it's almost like a vegetable puree, we add the prawns and let them change color, removing them at that time.
On the sauce, add a splash of wine or brandy and let it evaporate. At that time we add the fish stock and the mollusks and let that of a boil for 10 minutes. After this time we add the fish loins so that they cook in the remaining heat without drying out and turn off the heat.
Then we strain the broth and add the rest of the trips we had reserved with the exception of the prawns that we skewer on skewers to serve on each plate as an ornament.
