Method
- Heat oil in a large pan over heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaf, and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is soft.
- Add the water, wine, tomato paste, rice and saffron to the pan, and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables and rice are tender. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until a very smooth consistency. Transfer into a clean saucepan. Stir in the extra water. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring soup to a simmer over medium heat and add prawns, mussels, calamari and salmon pieces. Cook uncovered until seafood is just cooked. Ladle into serving bowls, sprinkle with the thyme leaves and serve immediately.
