While other creamy fish soups tend to be overpowering, this one is light, elegant, and delicious. Sprinkle with chives and serve with bread.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
2 carrots, chopped
2 onions, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 cup white wine
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
½ dried chile pepper
½ sprig fennel fronds
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds cod fillets
1 pound mussels, cleaned and debearded
8 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, or more to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and onions and saute until lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Bring chicken broth, water, white wine, vinegar, and fish sauce to a boil in a large pot. Add sauteed vegetables, reduce heat, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Whisk heavy cream and flour together in a small bowl. Add cream to the soup, followed by sugar, garlic, bay leaf, chile pepper, fennel greens, sea salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add cod, mussels, and shrimp; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer without boiling until fish is easily flaked, 8 to 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cook's Notes:

You can use butter instead of olive oil.

You can use any fish fillets you prefer such as salmon, halibut, or any other firm, white-fleshed fish you can find locally.
