Nutritional values

This fine soup shines not only because of its taste, but also because of its sensationally low fat and calorie content. Mussels also provide the plate with plenty of iodine and protein. 

Serve a crispy baguette with this starter so it will fill you up longer. If you are a bit more generous with fat, you can top it off with a bowl of aioli.
