At our recent potluck birthday dinner, Dad made this soup and it was just beautiful. A phone call the next day got a basic list of ingredients but he was deliciously vague about quantities. My first attempt didn't taste quite right but will keep practicing. I will edit this again next time I make it.
2 onions, chopped.
garlic, about 4 good teaspoons crushed
tin of crushed tomatoes (I may try 2 next time)
anchovy sauce - yet to find this so I subbed 3 anchovies
oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon
assorted mixed seafood of your choice about 750g worth
cayenne pepper to taste, in our house that is about 1 tsp if it is fresh, 2 if it isn't- in yours maybe 1/4 tsp if you are shy
salt and pepper
white wine, I used 100ml, will use double that next time
cream, maybe half a cup.
stock/water (I boiled up some prawn scraps in 1litre of water for 30 mins)
Fry onions till soft, add garlic fry another minute then add cayenne fry another minute, add tomatoes, anchovy, oyster sauce, wine, stock and then simmer for a bit. Add seafood and cream, serve just a few minutes later when seafood has cooked - just. I sprinkled with chopped green onion as I had some in the fridge but any nice mild green herb like parsley or chives will do. Serve with garlic bread.
