Ingredients:

Serving

4 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), chopped
1 large fennel bulb, stalks discarded , reserving fronds for garnish, and bulb chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
2 large celery ribs, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp herbes de provence
2 california or 4 turkish bay leaves
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp crumbled saffron threads
5 lb whole whiting , perch , or cod (preferably with heads), cleaned and rinsed well
5 medium tomatoes, chopped (4 cups)
2 cups dry white wine
4 (3- by 1-inch) strips fresh orange zest
6 cups water
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 baguette , cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices
accompaniment: saffron rouille

Directions:

Wash leeks .
Cook leeks, fennel bulb, carrots, celery, and garlic in oil with herbes de Provence, bay leaves, cayenne, saffron, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in an 8-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
While vegetable mixture cooks, cut fish crosswise into 2- to 3-inch lengths.
Add tomatoes, wine, and zest to vegetable mixture and bring to a boil, then boil 30 seconds. Add fish, water, and tomato paste and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until fish completely falls apart, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Arrange baguette slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and thoroughly dried, about 20 minutes.
Force soup through food mill into a large heavy pot, discarding solids. Reheat soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Mound rouille on croutons and put 1 in bottom of each soup bowl. Pour soup around croutons.
Cooks' note: Soup, without rouille and croutons, can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, uncovered, until completely cooled, then covered. Reheat before serving.
