  • Tomato soup with mussels starts with a broth, so make that first. Prep everything: peel the onion and garlic, rinse them, and cut them into rough pieces — not too small, not too large. Rinse and cut the celery stalks too. Pour water into a large pot and add all of these along with the spices — bay leaf, peppercorns, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Bring it to a boil over fairly high heat, then lower the heat and simmer the broth, covered, for about 20 minutes. Let it steep a bit, then strain it through a sieve, discarding the vegetables — you only want the clear broth. Pour the strained broth back into the pot, return it to the stove, and bring it to a boil again. Drop in the mussels and clams (cleaned and rinsed well in cold water beforehand) and cook until the shells open, then take the pot off the heat. Lift all the seafood out with a slotted spoon onto a plate and strain the broth again. Discard any shells that didn't open — they're not safe to eat — and shell the mussels that did open (save a few in the shell for garnish). Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Peel, rinse, and chop the onion, carrot, and celery, add them to the hot oil, and simmer covered for 10 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and tomatoes, stir, and keep cooking for about 5 minutes more. Pour in the dry white wine and continue simmering over low heat until the alcohol cooks off. Add 800 ml of the broth you made earlier, then the cooked clams and mussels. Bring the soup to a boil and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
