Thai Satay Hurricane Soup

1 clove garlic
1 shallot
1 medium red onion, peeled
1 teaspoon dried red chili pepper
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 slices fresh galanga
1 stalk lemon grass
4 fresh lime leaves
6 cups chicken stock
6 tablespoons Thai fish sauce (nam pia)
3 tablespoons sugar
12 medium shrimp
8 pieces of crab claw
8 mussels
8 thin slices whitefish or salmon
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
chopped green onion and
coriander for garnish

In a blender or food processor, combine garlic, shallot, onion, chili,
paprika and oil. Process until smoothly combined and pureed. Place in a
small saucepan over low heat and cook for 15 to 20 minutes to release the
flavours, stirring occasionally so it does not burn. Set the mixture aside
and let it cool to room temperature. In a large saucepan, combine 4
tablespoons of the garlic-onion mixture with galanga, lemon grass, lime
leaves, chicken stock, fish sauce and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium
heat. Add the shrimp, crab claw, mussels and fish to the stock. Let the
soup return to a boil again and simmer for a minute or two. Add lime
juice, and garnish with chopped green onion and coriander root.
Serves 6.
