Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds mussels, cleaned
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 small shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth/stock
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • splash heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • lemon wedges, for serving
  • 1 baguette, warmed, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a large pot with a lid over medium heat. When the butter begins to bubble, stir in the shallot and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock, white wine, and mussels, then give them a good toss. Cover the pot with its lid and cook until the mussels have opened 6 to 10 minutes. If any mussels do not open, discard them.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, then stir in the cream and parsley. Taste the broth, and then adjust to taste with salt, pepper, or more cream.
  • Serve in big bowls with lemon wedges and plenty of warmed bread to sop up the broth.
