Steps:
- Heat the 1/4 cup oil in a 6-quart saucepan. Add the onion, and saute over medium heat until tender. Stir in the unpeeled tomatoes, and cook about 5 minutes, until the mixture is thick.
- Add 2 pounds of the mussels, cover, and cook about 10 minutes, just until they open. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mussels, and set aside.
- Add the water, and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining mussels, fish trimmings, crabs, herbs, chili, bay leaves, peppercorns, orange peel, saffron and star anise. Simmer uncovered, skimming the surface from time to time, for 30 minutes.
- While the stock is cooking, remove the reserved cooked mussels from their shells, discard the shells, and refrigerate the mussels.
- When the stock is done, drain it into a colander over a large bowl, and return the liquid to the saucepan. The cooked seafood and other solids should be discarded.
- Boil down the liquid until it is reduced to 2 1/2 cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a clean saucepan melt the butter, and cook until it starts to brown. Add the chopped peeled tomatoes, and saute briefly. Add the reduced seafood stock, bring to a simmer, and add the chard. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the shucked mussels, and simmer briefly to reheat them.
- To serve, divide the soup among 4 bowls. Drop a piece of the goat cheese on top of each, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Serve at once.

Steps:
- Wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, agitating them, then lift out leeks and pat dry.
- Cook leeks in butter in a wide 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add thyme and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in beer and water, then increase heat to moderately high and bring to a boil. Add mussels and return liquid to a boil, partially covered. Cook, completely covered, stirring occasionally, just until mussels open wide, checking frequently after 4 minutes and transferring to a large bowl. (Discard any mussels that remain unopened after 8 minutes.).
- Working over a bowl, remove mussels from shells and put in bowl (discard shells along with any clinging leeks). Pour any cooking liquid accumulated in bowl back into pot.
- Pour cooking liquid through a sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth or dampened paper towels into a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in half-and-half, salt, and white pepper, then heat over moderately low heat until hot (do not let boil). Stir in mussels and heat until just warmed through.
- Meanwhile, halve avocado, then peel 1 half (wrap remaining half tightly in plastic wrap and reserve for another use). Cut into 1/2-inch cubes, then toss gently with tomatoes and dill in a bowl.
- Divide soup among 6 shallow bowls and spoon some avocado mixture into each. Serve immediately.
- It should be noted that the soup, without half and half, can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled (with shelled mussels in soup), covered. Remove mussels and reheat soup over moderately low heat before adding half-and-half and then proceeding with recipe.
