Ingredients:

1 cup

Olive Oil

1 tbsp

Dried Thyme

1.5 tsps

Salt

Directions:

1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed soup pot, add the onions, leeks, and celery, and saute until translucent, about 6 minutes

2

Add the garlic, tomatoes, saffron, and seasonings

3

Stir for about 2 minutes, then add the white wine and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until almost all the liquid has evaporated, before adding the fish stock

4

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes

5

At the end of 45 minutes, add the potatoes and begin to cook

6

While the broth is simmering, make the Peppery Croutons by brushing one side of each French bread slice with olive oil, sprinkle with cracked pepper, and toast in a 300 degree oven until crisp (about 12 minutes)

7

After the potatoes have simmered for 10 minutes, add the lobster

8

Return to a boil and cook at a strong simmer for 5 minutes, before adding the fish chunks and the shrimp and cook until the fish is just cooked, but not yet flaking apart

9

Remove the bay leaves, taste for seasoning, and serve immediately, garnished with the Peppery Croutons
