Directions:
In a large pot,
bring the fish stock, milk, onion, potatoes and celery to a boil, turn heat to
low. Simmer until the veggies are soft. With a wire whisk, mix in the flour, then add...salt, pepper, corn,
wine and tarragon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cut fish to bite
size pieces. (make sure the mussels are washed thoroughly). Now, add all of your fish combination to the pan and simmer gently
for 4 minutes until mussel shells have opened and all the fish is opaque. Gently pour in cream, stirring lightly.
Ladle in to your
favorite soup bowl and serve with a warm, buttered slice of Irish Soda Bread.
