FISH SOUP
Ms. Hodgson brought us this recipe over 20 years ago in an article that extolled the virtues of halibut, and indeed, it is very good fish for soups. Here, fish and shellfish are briefly cooked in a saffron-flavored broth. Don't be intimidated. This recipe is extremely simple, and once you've gathered all of the ingredients (perhaps the most time-consuming of all the tasks), it can be put together in about an hour. It can also be made in advance, with the fish cooked in the broth at the last minute. Serve it with our version of rouille (a thick garlicky sauce stirred in after the soup is served) that uses a couple of tablespoons of commercial mayonnaise instead of egg yolks.

Steps:
- Shell the shrimp and put the shells in a stockpot. Put the shrimp in a mound on a large plate. Slice the squid and place in a mound next to the shrimp. Cut the remaining fish into one-and-a-half-inch chunks and put any bones into the stockpot. Squeeze lemon juice onto the fish and set aside.
- Add the parsley to the stockpot with any fish heads and other bones. Add five cups water and simmer gently uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and soften the leek with the carrots and the garlic. Add the tomatoes with the saffron and white wine. Cook gently for five minutes, turn heat down to very low, cover and simmer while the broth is cooking.
- Meanwhile, make the rouille. Put the bread and mayonnaise into the bowl of a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, paprika and cayenne. Slowly add the oil and process until you have a thick puree. Season to taste and place in a small bowl.
- Drain the fish broth and reserve. Put the broth into a pot that you can carry to the table and add the leek tomato mixture. Simmer for five minutes.
- Just before serving add the fish to the broth. First add the squid, cook for five minutes, then add the white fish, cook for two minutes, then add the shrimp and cook for two minutes. Bring to the table and serve the rouille separately.

SOUPE DE POISSONS DIEPPOISE - SPICY FRENCH FISH SOUP
Most coastal regions in France have their own special seafood & fish recipes; this is an incredibly tasty soup from the Northern French port of Dieppe. It is a meal in itself - a tangy fish soup served with Rouille, garlic croutons and grated Gruyere or Emmenthal Cheese. There is a hidden "kick" by way of the added Cayenne pepper, which marries so well with the tomatoes & fish. I have posted a recipe for Rouille in RecipeZaar - this is an essential extra, the literal translation meaning "Rust" which points towards the colour - it is a very garlicky & hot mayonnaise based sauce.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, leeks, and fennel and let them sweat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
- Add tomatoes and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, then add the small fish or bones. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water to cover, as well as the bouquet garni and orange zest. Stir well; add saffron, a dash of salt and pepper, and Pernod. Lower the heat and simmer for about an hour.
- Remove pot from heat and let soup cool slightly. Taking care not to splatter or scald yourself, strain liquid into a large bowl. In the pot, crush the heads, bones, and vegetables as much as possible, then transfer that to the strainer. Push and squeeze every bit of liquid and solid goodness through with a mallet or heavy wooden spoon. Return to the pot.
- Bring the soup back up to heat and serve with croutons, rouille, and some grated Parmesan on the side. The idea is to smear a little rouille on the croutons, float them in the soup as garnish, and allow guests to sprinkle cheese as they wish.
