Diet Mussel Soup
Instructions:
- 100 g of cooked and deshelled mussels (see the basic recipe)
- 500 ml (2 cups) of saffron-spiced mussel bouillon (see the basic recipe)
- 100 g rice vermicelli, broken down into short pieces
- 1. Bring the bouillon to a boil.
- 2. Add the rice vermicelli pieces and cook at a low heat for 3 minutes. Some varieties of vermicelli might require a slightly shorter or longer cooking time.
- 3. Add the mussels and heat (but do not boil) for a minute or two.
- 4. Optional improvement: Before serving, add two tablespoons of cognac to the soup. A dry white wine with a lot of taste goes nicely with the soup. However, even a light Riesling can be appropriate.
