This is a fabulous mussel soup with a wonderful flavor of the sea that is very quick and easy to make at home. It is delicious served with crusty French bread spread with creamy French butter. And don't forget a glass of white wine to wash this lovely seafood dish down!

White soup bowl full of yellow broth with beige mussel pieces and green parsley.

Excellent for entertaining or just for a special treat for your family.

Bring the taste of the sea to your table with this wonderful tasty soup.

Often people are scared to cook mussels or don't know how, yet, it is in fact very easy to cook them.

However, it is the preparation that is the important part.

You have to be careful that the mussels are healthy to eat and as long as you take good care with this you will be fine.

Mussels need to be closed when you pop them in the pan, throw any away if they are open.

When they are cooked they should be open, again, throw them away if they remain closed. Please take care with this part!
