Meditteranean Fish Soup

This is my first attempt at trying to copy a yummy soup we had at Le Cafe Cafe in Picton over Easter.... Definitely not quite as good as the Le Cafe version, but a good start....

Ingredients:
- 150g flakey fish
- 350g firm fish

- 4-5 cups fish stock
- Olive oil 
- 1 cup white wine
- 500 g veggies (carrot, celery, onion, leek, parsnip, fennel bulb)
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- tomato paste / 1/2 tin tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- Pinch saffron
- 1 piece orange peel (optional)
- 1 Star anise
- 1/2 Teaspoon coriander seeds
- handful chopped parsley
- 3 bay leaves

Steps:
Fry spices. Sweat veggies in olive oil. Add diced flakey fish. Deglaze with white wine. Add tomato paste, top up with stock, and simmer 30 min. Add the firm fish, and bring back to a gentle simmer.
