Method
-
Combine the saffron and hot water in a small bowl and set aside to infuse. Place the stock, tomato, leek, carrot and celery in a large saucepan and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften.
-
Meanwhile, to make the capsicum rouille, place the bread in a large bowl. Cover with plenty of cold water and set aside for 2 minutes to soak. Use your hands to squeeze the excess water from the bread. Place in the jug of a blender. Add the peppers, garlic, chilli and oil, and blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small serving bowl.

Add saffron mixture to tomato mixture and cook for a further 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add fish, prawns and mussels to the soup and cook, covered, for a further 2-3 minutes or until seafood is just cooked and mussels open. (Discard unopened mussels.) Taste and season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup among serving bowls and sprinkle with parsley. Top with a dollop of capsicum rouille and serve with baguette.
