Seafood soup

[Funkstar]

I've got a couple of packs of mixed seafood (mussels, king prawns and squid) in the fridge and would like to make a nice thick soup or chowder type thing with them. I want a nice thick, creamy soup with some veg in there as well to bulk it out.

Anyone got any recomendations?

Thanks

paella rice and peas and you have a nice paella

you really need whole prawns so you can boil the heads and tails to make the fish stock for the soup though, garlic, celery, carrot, tined plum tom's chopped, peas and white wine should make a good soup with any spare veg you have left over.

sainsburys sell fish stock cubes under there basics brand, under a quid

cornflour or spuds in the soup to thicken

well Celery is a good place to start, no doubt. And carrot too, because you need the basics of a good stock even if they get pulled out at the end, having given their flavour.

I think I'd like to try white beetroot too, which I had this week myself, plainly roasted in olive oil, which were lovely and dont trash the colour of everythning else.

I dont think I'd go with tomato though, myself, as the flavour of the seafood might get mullered by it.

Would be worth risking Celeriac for bulk and a lovely flavour.
