An easy-to-prepare soup, rich in the aromas of Italy: tomatoes, basil, and mussels are here. Competent chefs living in Russia in the kitchen, in particular Gerardine, told me that mussels are quite available in frozen form, and they taste very pleasant. Therefore, I recommend you to try this soup, which will remind you of the taste of the outgoing summer and the great holidays that have passed.
Instructions
- Clean fresh mussels - remove the "beard" and scrape off the surface of the shells. Put the fresh mussels in a saucepan, cover and cook over medium heat, shaking the pan periodically until the mussels open. It is not necessary to add water: mussels in seawater, they will bloom, and it will be stewed. Strain this water and leave it for the soup. If the mussels are frozen, defrost them in the refrigerator in a colander installed in a bowl. Leave the water that remains in the bowl for the soup.
