FISHERMAN'S SOUP



Fisherman's Soup image

_(Cacciucco)_ This seafood soup, called cacciucco (meaning "mixture"), is a specialty of Livorno, a fishing port that is Tuscany's second-largest city. It has been made for hundreds of years, and variations of it appear all along the Tuscan coast. Traditionally, at least five types of fish and shellfish are included (one for each "c" in the name). If you like, do as the Italians do, and place a slice of toasted bread in each bowl before ladling the soup over.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 medium red onion, coarsely chopped
1 Fresno chile pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 fresh bay leaves
Fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 anchovy filets
4 small ribs celery, chopped
2 starchy potatoes, peeled and chopped into small dice
1 red pepper, cored and finely chopped
1/2 bottle lager beer (about 6 ounces)
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes or chunky-style crushed tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock
1 pound cod, cut into chunks
1 pound sea scallops
1 loaf ciabatta or other crusty bread of choice, for serving

Steps:

  • For the seafood base: Place the red onion, chile pepper, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves in a food processor and process ingredients into paste.
  • For the soup base: In a Dutch oven, heat the extra-virgin olive oil and anchovies over medium-high heat, when the anchovies melt into the oil add the seafood base and stir 3 to 4 minutes then add the celery, potatoes, and red pepper and cover the pot 4 to 5 minutes to sweat them out, stirring occasionally. Deglaze the pot with beer. Add tomatoes and chicken stock and bring to a boil, simmer for 20 minutes or until it has reduced by a third, then turn off the heat, cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
  • To reheat: Reheat over medium-high heat. Crust up and warm bread in a hot oven. When the stoup comes to a boil, fold or nestle the cod and scallops into the liquid, and return to a bubble, cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the fish is opaque and cooked through, then turn off the heat. Serve immediately with lots of bread for mopping.
