Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, thickly sliced
6 bacon slices, chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup thinly sliced fennel
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tablespoon crushed fennel seeds
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 pounds red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 1/2 cups canned chicken broth
2 14 1/2-ounce cans diced peeled tomatoes
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 1-pound halibut fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces red snapper fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces sole fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Set mushrooms aside.
  • Cook bacon in heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat until almost crisp, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Add onion, fennel, bell pepper, fennel seeds and garlic; sauté until vegetables are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, chicken broth, tomatoes with their juices and tomato sauce and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 25 minutes. Mix in mushrooms. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring soup to simmer before continuing.)
  • Add halibut, red snapper and sole to soup and simmer just until fish is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley.

This soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred it with less roux or perhaps some added liquid to thin it out. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit off-putting.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less salt or perhaps some added liquid to dilute the saltiness. The flavor was otherwise good, but the saltiness made it a bit hard to enjoy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out way too sour. I think I must have accidentally added too much lemon juice. The flavor was otherwise good, but the sourness made it almost inedible.

I found this soup to be a bit too sweet. I think it needed more savory ingredients to balance out the sweetness of the fennel and saffron. I would have preferred it with some added vegetables or perhaps a bit of lemon juice.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less chili flakes or perhaps a different type of spice altogether. The flavor was otherwise good, but the spiciness was a bit overwhelming.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning, perhaps some salt and pepper or a bit of lemon juice. The fennel and saffron flavors were subtle, but I would have liked them to be more pronounced.

This soup was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less seafood and more vegetables. The fennel and saffron flavors were nice, but they couldn't quite balance out the strong fishiness of the soup.
