Zuppa Di Mussels (Italian Fish Soup)

Wednesday, March 7, 2012
The first time I had Zuppa Di Mussels was served in a small Italian restaurant in Central Utica, NY it was one of the best childhood food memories that I had to recreate.

Each mussel was a plump, meaty mollusk filled with this delicious tomato soup broth filled shell, served with thick hard crusty Tuscan style garlic bread on the edge a deep bowl to sop up the juices.

This dish was beyond delicious, and when possible we always try to use all fresh ingredients, however fresh or frozen mussels can be used for this dish along with fresh or canned tomatoes.

Either way the taste of this fish soup is fabulous and made in minutes, some of the tips are below to experience this Italian Zuppa Di Mussels in the most authentic way possible.

We even put this on our menu to celebrate Christmas Eve as this became part of the 7 Fishes as a starter to our traditional seafood meal.
