Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 stalks leeks, white and light green parts 1/2" slices
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled 1/2" dices
  • 1 large white turnip 1/2" dices
  • 1 large rutabaga, peeled 1/2" dices
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup barley
  • 3 cups fish stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • pinch saffron
  • 2 cod fillet approximately 12 ounces total, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup roughly chopped clam meat including any clam juice
  • 2 cups lump crab meat
  • 4 bread bowls

Instructions
 

  • in a saucepan over medium high heat, add the butter and oil. Once hot, add the chopped leeks and cook for 3 minutes until tender. Add the garlic, carrots, turnip, and rutabaga. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and cook for another three minutes.
  • Add the white wine and scrape off any bits that may have formed on the bottom of the pan. Add the barley and fish stock. Bring the mixture to a boil and then down to a simmer. Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat with the saffron. Bring it just to a simmer and take it off the heat. Whisk in the flour and set aside.
  • Mix the cream mixture into the pot and stir to combine. Add all the seafood and let it come to a simmer. Simmer for 5-8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • The consistency I was looking for was a creamy soup but thinner then a chowder. Use your judgement when determining how thick you want your stew. If you want it slightly thicker, ladle a 1/2 cup of soup out and whisk in another tablespoon of flour. Bring the stew to a simmer again.
