The Worldcook website has also a recipe for mussel soup from Belgium.

Stir fry the onions 5 minutes in the butter. Add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the wine and the caraway seeds and simmer 5 minutes more. Distribute the soup over 4 cups. Put some pieces of bread in each cup and sprinkle with sunflower seeds and cheese. Put the cups under a hot grill until the cheese starts to bubble.
