Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 10
Carefully scrub the mussels under running water, removing the filaments and discarding any that are already open. Then boil them in a saucepan with the white wine, shallot, onion, chopped parsley, bay leaf, and dill over very low heat for 5 minutes.
- STEP 2 OF 10
The heat will open the mussels: if any remain closed, discard them.
- STEP 3 OF 10
Remove the mollusk from the opened mussels and discard the hard edge.
- STEP 4 OF 10
Cut the carrots and celery into strips that are not too thin, then sauté them in a saucepan with the butter over medium heat for a few minutes without letting them color, stirring continuously to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- STEP 5 OF 10
Strain the mussel cooking liquid and pour it into the saucepan with the vegetables.
- STEP 6 OF 10
Add the fish stock as well.
- STEP 7 OF 10
Reduce the preparation until you obtain about 1 liter of soup.
- STEP 8 OF 10
At this point, add the cream (minus a few tablespoons) and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
- STEP 9 OF 10
Let it cook until the soup has a creamy consistency, then add the mollusks and heat everything together without boiling, otherwise the mussels will become tough and rubbery.
- STEP 10 OF 10
In a pitcher, beat the yolk and cream using a whisk.
