Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and add saffron threads, bay leaves, and thyme
Simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavors, then season with salt and white pepper
Add the firm white fish pieces and mussels to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid
Cook for 5-7 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, and mussels have opened
