Method

Scrub mussels well and remove the beard. Place in large kettle and add all ingredients, except chopped parsley. Cover, bring to boil and cook over high heat until mussels open (about 5-7 minutes.) As mussels steam, shake the kettle up and down, holding lid in place. Discard any mussels that do not open. Spoon mussels into soup plates along with cooking liquid, discarding bay leaves; sprinkle with chopped parsley.
