A comforting and flavorful Mussel Scallion Soup made with fresh mussels, scallions, and creamy broth.

Scale

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Toss in the minced garlic and the white parts of the scallions, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potato to the pot and stir it all together.
Pour in the seafood stock or chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
While the soup is simmering, prepare the mussels. Rinse them under cold water, discarding any that are open and don’t close when tapped.
Once the potatoes are tender, add the mussels to the pot along with the heavy cream and smoked paprika. Stir gently and cover the pot.
Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened up. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stir in the green parts of the scallions just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
