👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, fennel, and leeks, and sauté until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- 2
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, white wine, fish stock (or water), saffron, Herbes de Provence, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
- 4
Add the fish pieces and shellfish (if using) to the pot. Ensure the fish is submerged in the liquid. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5
Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.
- 6
Carefully remove the fish pieces from the soup and set aside. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- 7
Return the strained broth to the pot. Flake the cooked fish, removing any bones and skin, and return the flesh to the broth. If using shellfish, remove from shells and add to the soup.
- 8
Simmer for another 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve hot, garnished with rouille and croutons.
