Icelandic fish soup РFiskas̼pa

Recently I was in Reykjavik, and in a newly opened “Icelandic Street Food” restaurant I had a real good shellfish soup. So I looked for a recipe for an Icelandic fish soup – Fiskasúpa to do this at home.

Ingredients:

• 50 gram butter
• 2 smal onions, sliced finely
• 1 leek, slice finely
• 2 stalks of sellery, sliced finely
• 3 tomatoes, sliced finely
• 1,5 liter vegetable stock
• 200 ml cream (optionally)
• 100 ml sherry
• 160 ml white wine
• 3 tablespoons tomato concentrate
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• saffron powder (half a teaspoon)
• 500 gram nordic fish (salmon, halibut)
• 400 gram shrimps
• salt and pepper to taste

Method:

• slice the vegetables fine.
• Melt the butter in a large pot.
• Add the onions, leek and seller, and cook for 8 minutes.
• Add the sherry and the white wine, and let it reduce for another 5 minutes.
• Add the vegetable stock, the vinegar, the tomato concentrate and the saffron and let it cook for another 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile cut the fish into large pieces.
• Add the fish, the shrimps and the tomatoes and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
• Add the cream and stir, do not let it boil again.
• Serve with bread for lunch.

I like a lot of surprising soups. Be sure to test also these ones:
