Bouride

In a large soup pot, combine the fish stock, carrots, leeks, celery and potatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Place the fish pieces into the broth, cover and simmer until the fish is just cooked, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile make the aioli. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Place a crouton in the bottom of each serving bowl. Uncover the pot and using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fish pieces and divide them among the four serving bowls. Bring the liquid back to a boil, then remove from the heat. While whisking the liquid, gradually add the aioli. The mixture will thicken slightly and take on a beautiful sheen. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Divide the liquid among the four bowls, making sure everyone gets enough vegetables.
