Step by Step guide

Step 1

Clean and rinse the shrimp and all the squid (both large and small). Leave the heads and tails on the shrimp, and cut the large squid into pieces.

Step 2

Boil the potatoes (small ones are preferred) until almost tender, then peel and cut each potato in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Sauté the bacon in a deep skillet with butter until it is lightly browned. Add the flour, finely chopped shallots, and garlic, and cook for another half minute.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by two-thirds. Add the broth, oregano, and then the cream. Heat the soup without bringing it to a boil, turn off the heat, and let it steep for twenty minutes, adding a bay leaf, salt, and white pepper.

Step 5

Add the fish and seafood, along with the potatoes, to the soup, and bring to a boil until cooked through. Then, ladle the broth into bowls, arrange the fish and seafood on top, and garnish with sprigs of chervil.
