Method

  • Scrub the mussels and check that all shells are closed. Discard any doubtful shells.
  • Cut the carrot and celery into small dice.
  • Pick the leaves off the parsley stems, and keep the stems and leaves separate.
  • Bring wine, water, and a bouillon cube to a boil, add the vegetables, parsley stems, and blue mussels. Cover and cook the mussels until they open, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove the mussels with a slotted spoon and extract the meat from the shells.
  • Puree the vegetables in the broth and strain the mixture. Bring the broth to a boil with heavy cream, and season with cayenne pepper and salt.
  • Add the mussels to the soup.
  • Serve the soup in warm bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and accompanied by bread.

Tip:You can save some of the shells and use them as decoration in the soup when serving.
