Creamy Scallop And Artichoke Soup Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 24 x bay scallops (or possibly 12 sea scallops, halved) Salt to taste Freshly-grnd white pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 3 Tbsp. chopped onion
- 2 x fresh or possibly frzn artichoke hearts tender and diced (or possibly 4 canned artichoke bottoms)
- 1/3 c. dry white wine
- 1 Tbsp. cognac
- 2 c. fish stock
- 2 c. whipping cream
Directions
- Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in the onion and saute/fry for about 3 min. Add in scallops, diced artichokes, and wine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook 1 to 2 min. Remove from heat, and strain liquid into another pot. Sprinkle solids with cognac and set aside.
- Add in fish stock to the cooking liquid, then boil till the liquid is reduced to about 1/2 c.. This will take about 30 min. Stir in the cream and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about one minute. Pour through a fine sieve into the scallop mix, then hot till the soup is heated through. Season to taste and serve small portions immediately.
- Comments: So rich and delicate - this first course, served warm in small portions to 4 people, will have them shouting for more.
