tsp salt

tsp crushed red pepper flakes

8 oz bottle of clam juice

28 oz can of crushed tomatoes

In a large, heavy bottom dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, leek, fennel, shallots and salt and saute until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.

Add garlic, red pepper flakes and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Add wine and boil for about 5 minutes until reduced. Add in clam juice, stock and crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Turn heat down to medium-low, cover and let broth simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Add the clams and mussels to the simmering broth, cover and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to open. Uncover and add in fish and scallops and cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to turn opaque. Add in shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they turn pink.

Use a slotted spoon to discard any clams or mussels that did not open. Sprinkle in fresh parsley and serve in big bowls with lemon wedges and lots of crusty bread.

We love seafood in this house so this dish was well received and loved! Thanks for the recipe!!

This stew has so much FLAVOR, girl! I’m so amazed at how easily it all came together. A must make recipe!

I love the choose your own adventure style of this soup. Made mine with lots of shrimp and redfish as that was looking particularly good at the market last weekend. It's so easy and tasty. Will be making it again!

We loved this cioppino so much! I served it for our Saturday dinner, which we always eat al fresco, with a homemade loaf of Italian bread. So delicious and comforting.
