Savour the rich flavours of saffron-infused seafood soup. A delightful dish packed with aromatic spices and fresh seafood.

Ingredients:
  • 4 Inches of Chorizo

  • 80g Breadcrumbs

  • 1 Onion

  • 4 Cloves of Garlic

  • 2 Sticks of Celery

  • 20g Fresh Parsley

  • 1 tsp Cajun Spice

  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika

  • Pinch of Saffron

  • 200ml White Wine

  • 2 Tins of Chopped Tomatoes

  • 100ml Fish Stock

  • 300g Prawns

  • 250g Cod

  • 250g Salmon 

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Method:
  • Step 1

    Firstly finely chop your garlic, celery and dice your onion, then slice the chorizo into small bite size pieces.

  • Step 2

    Now prepare your fish by cutting the cod and salmon into smaller chunks.

  • Step 3

    Heat some oil in a pan and fry off your chorizo and breadcrumbs to create an infused breadcrumb and a crispy chorizo outcome, once achieved set aside for later.

  • Step 4

    In the same pan, begin sautéing your onion celery and garlic topped with your smoked paprika until soft and translucent.

  • Step 5

    In the meantime, boil the kettle and once boiled, pour around 50ml into a bowl and put your saffron within so it infuses for 1 minute. Pour another 100ml of the boiling water into a separate jug and add your fish stock cube to allow it to dissolve into a stock.

  • Step 6

    To the pan with your sautéd onions, add your wine, saffron and saffron infused water and stir for 3 minutes.

  • Step 7

    Add both tins of chopped tomatoes and your fish stock. Season with salt and pepper, stir together and leave to simmer for 30 mins.

  • Step 8

    Once this has all reduced down add your cod and salmon and half of your parsley and allow it to cook for 5 minutes. Finally add the prawns and allow them to cook for another 2 mins.

  • Step 9

    Now serve your soup into bowls topped with the chorizo crumb you set aside earlier. Sprinkle over a little more fresh parsley and dig it!
