Ingredients

400 g cod fillet, cut into pieces
200 g peeled shrimp
2 carrots, sliced
1 leek, sliced
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
200 ml liquid fresh cream
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon flour
200 ml vegetable broth or fish stock
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bouquet garni (bay leaf, thyme, parsley)
to taste salt and pepper
1/2 lemon juice of half a lemon

Equipment

Large pot or Dutch oven
Good knife for chopping
Cutting board
Wooden spoon or spatula
Small bowl for mixing

Method

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and leek. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the softened vegetables and stir for a minute to coat.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth or fish stock and add the bouquet garni. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the pieces of cod fillet into the broth and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until the cod is opaque and flakes easily.
Scatter the peeled shrimp into the pot and cook for another 3 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, cream, and lemon juice until smooth. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the creamy mixture gently.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove the bouquet garni before serving.
