MUSSEL SOUP WITH TOMATOES
You'll want to take most of your mussels out of their shells to make the soup easier to eat. It's a two-step process: Steam the mussels out of their shells and remove the meats, then strain and use the mussel broth for the soup.

Steps:
- Pour about 1 cup of salty water -- ideally boiled seawater -- into a large, wide pot with a cover and bring to a boil. Add the mussels and steam until they all open, about 3 to 5 minutes. NOTE: If you are using wild mussels, you will need to scrub and debeard them all first.
- When the mussels are open, pick out the meats of all but your "show mussels" and put in a bowl. Toss with a little olive oil and set aside. Strain the mussel broth through cheesecloth or a paper towel into another bowl.
- In a soup pot, get the olive oil hot over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and sauté another 2 minutes.
- Pour in the mussel broth, tomatoes and cayenne and mix well. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. You can puree this mixture and run it though a sieve to make it a refined soup, or leave it rustic. Your choice. Add the mussels and cook for another 3 minutes. If you're using the cherry tomatoes, add them at the last minute.
- Garnish with the parsley or cilantro, and drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over everyone's bowl.
- Serve hot with a nice medium-bodied Italian red, a dry rose or an amber beer. Be sure to have lots of crusty bread to serve

Steps:
- Rinse mussels under running water, discarding any that are open. Place in a soup kettle with white wine. Bring to a fast boil over medium-high heat and steam until mussels open. Remove from heat and discard any mussels that refuse to open. Remove mussels from broth, being careful not to pick up sandy sediment. Strain the broth carefully, through a colander lined with cheesecloth, into a measuring cup. Add water to make 4 cups liquid.
- Rinse out soup kettle. Clean and slice the leek thinly and saute it in 2 tablespoons of oil over gentle heat until leek has softened.
- If using salted anchovy, split it in half and rinse under running water to rid it of salt. Pull away the bones. Pat anchovy dry. Mash two garlic cloves and mince with anchovy and half the parsley. Add to leek and saute until garlic starts to turn golden.
- Roughly chop tomatoes. Add to soup kettle with mussel broth and either saffron threads or hot pepper. Let simmer, partly covered, 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- While liquid is simmering, remove the empty half shell from each mussel, leaving only the shell half that has the mussel in it. Discard empty shells.
- Add mussels in shells to the simmering broth, and let warm to serving temperature. While broth is warming, toast the bread slices on both sides. When bread is toasted, cut remaining clove of garlic and rub over bread. Drizzle a little of the remaining olive oil over each slice. Place a bread slice in bottom of each soup bowl.
- When ready to serve, place a ladleful of mussels in each bowl on top of the sliced bread. Pour broth over, discarding hot pepper if used, sprinkle with minced parsley and serve immediately.

Remove from the heat and discard any unopened mussels. Strain the cooking liquid through a strainer lined with cheesecloth into a clean container. Remove the mussels from the shells and set aside. Discard the shells.
- In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until just golden and starting to crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the onions and leeks, and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the bay leaves and thyme, and stir well. Add the strained mussel cooking liquid, the potatoes, milk, and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Add the cooked mussels and simmer until warmed through. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
- Meanwhile, place the bread slices on a baking sheet and rub on both sides with the garlic cloves. Bake until light golden brown, turning once, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Ladle into soup bowls, garnish with the parsley, and serve with the garlic croutons.
MUSSEL SOUP
This is a classy yet simple soup from France. I have made mussel soup before but this is the best recipe. Make sure you have the freshest mussels!! Serve with a good loaf of crusty bread to soak up all the wonderful broth! To make this into an entrée add 1/2 pound of cooked pasta, such as penne. Add the pasta to the soup just before serving. This is from Mark Bittman.

Steps:
- Scrub mussels and remove hairy beards from them. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a fry pan, add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft. In a small pan cook bacon until browned then drain on absorbent paper.
- In a large saucepan add enough water that will cover mussels and bring water to boil. Add mussels to pan, cover and cook for a few minutes or until mussels open. drain and discard any mussels that do not open. (I cook mussels in a separate pan so that any sand or grit that has not been washed off does not end up in my soup). Remove shells completely from some of the mussels, remove half the shell from others and leave some complete. This is for presentation and ease of eating.
- Wash saucepan and return to medium heat combine wine, lemon juice, water, both stocks, and onion garlic mixture, bring liquid to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, add cream and bacon. Remove pan from heat. In a bowl lightly beat egg yolks and add a few tablespoons of soup mixture to egg and mix, then add to soup, return pan to a low heat add mussels and basil and stir until heated through.
- Serve with a mixture of soft cut french loaf and fried french loaf.
- For fried.
- Cut a french loaf into slices, crush a couple of cloves of garlic and mix with butter. Spread garlic butter on both sides of bread and fry until golden brown on both sides.

MEDITERRANEAN MUSSEL AND CHICKPEA SOUP WITH FENNEL AND LEMON
My wife, Angela, loves mussels, especially the fat, tender Mediterranean mussels you get in summer and early fall. Consequently, we eat a lot of them-steamed, in salads, with pastas, you name it. Light enough for a summer dish, this terrific soup is also delicious in the winter months made with Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) mussels instead.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the garlic and chile flakes. Before the garlic colors, add the mussels and white wine. Increase the heat to high, cover, and let the mussels steam for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they just open.
- Discard any mussels that don't open and transfer the others to a baking dish with any cooking liquid that is in the pan. Set in the refrigerator until cool enough to handle. Once cool, remove the mussels from the shells, and discard the shells. (Note: You can keep the mussels in the fridge until ready to serve the soup, then proceed from this point.)
- In a medium-size saucepan, combine the mussels, cooking liquid, chickpeas, and sliced fennel and heat through. The fennel should retain a bit of a bite. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Serve immediately.
