乡村海鲜汤食谱

Instructions:

1. 
   1 Prepare the Base

   Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté diced onion, celery, and carrots until softened. Add minced garlic, dried thyme, bay leaves, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and tomatoes break down.

2. 
   2 Simmer with Broth and Wine

   Pour in fish stock and white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes to meld flavours together.

3. 
   3 Cook the Seafood

   Season prawns, scallops, and fish fillets with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until seafood is cooked through and tender.

4. 
   4 Finish and Serve

   Stir in thickened cream and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve hot, optionally with crusty bread.
