Mussels in White Wine Broth

Mussels with white wine can be a very romantic dinner. I like to prepare this for my husband when the kids are away. Serve this to your significant other with a nice glass of your favourite white or red wine, a french baguette and voila! An intimate dinner for two.

Ingredients

2 pounds of fresh mussels (de-bearded and washed well)
2 cups of your favourite white wine
1 package of Knorr vegetable soup mix
1/2 cup of green onions diced
1/2 cup of red peppers diced
1/2 cup celery diced
1 clove of garlic minced
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 can (28 fl.oz.) of diced tomatoes
1/2 cup of water

Directions

Using a large saucepan on medium heat, fry green onions, red peppers and celery in olive oil. Cook until translucent. Pour in mussels, water, wine, diced tomatoes and soup mix. Cover and simmer for approx. 30 minutes.

Now some may argue that I'm overcooking the mussels but I like to let them simmer so they absorb all the great flavours. I also didn't add salt and pepper to the ingredients list because I think the soup mix adds enough salt. You can always add salt and pepper after tasting. Enjoy.
