Answer 2

AHHH!! Cioppino! One of our favorites. It is a seafood soup in a spicy Italian broth made with white wine, tomatoes, stock and seasonings. You can use any seafood. I use shrimp, scallops, split crab legs, white fish, clams, sometimes petite lobster tails. The broth is made by sauteing onion and garlic in olive oil. Add a half bottle of white wine. Reduce by half. Add one pint of canned diced tomatoes and 4 cups of chicken or fish stock. Add salt and pepper. I put in 2 tbs of red chili flakes because we like it hot. And 2tbs of Italian seasoning. Simmer that on low for 30 minutes. Bring it to a mad boil and add the seafood. It all takes about the same cook time all of the seafood. Plan on 10 minutes total and then add one cup of fresh chopped basil. You want to serve the meal as soon as the seafood is done. Overcooked seafood is nasty and this meal has potential to be expensive, so don't waste it!! I serve with linguine noodles and garlic bread. Enjoy.
