Method
- Heat the oil in a large soup pot over a medium-heat. Add the onion and sweat for 10-12 minutes until translucent.
- Add the leek, red pepper, garlic and saffron. Cook for 1 minute, then add the chilli (if using), bay leaf and thyme. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preheat the oven to 200C/fan180C/gas 6.
- Stir in the tomatoes, cook for 1 minute, then add the wine and potato and cook for 10 minutes. Add the stock and fish and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cream, bring to a boil, then take it immediately off the heat. Stir through most of the parsley, then season to taste.
- Meanwhile, make the croutons. Toss the bread in the olive oil and thyme, then season well. Spread out on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden.
- Ladle the soup into bowls (discard the chilli, if using) and serve topped with the croutons and the remaining parsley.
