I recently made Zuppa di Pesce, and it turned out great. This Italian seafood soup is simple, fresh, and full of flavor.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, squid)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups fish or vegetable broth
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- Crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prep the Seafood: Rinse and clean the seafood. Set aside.
- Cook the Base: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft, then add the garlic.
- Make the Broth: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
- Cook the Seafood: Add the seafood to the pot. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked and the mussels and clams open.
- Serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with parsley, and with crusty bread on the side.
Conclusion:
Zuppa di Pesce is a delicious way to enjoy fresh seafood. The flavors are simple but satisfying, making it perfect for a cozy meal. Give it a try!
