Ingredients for 6 portions of Chiopino (in Italian - cioppino):
6 ounce small uncooked, peeled shrimp,
6 oz. diced halibut (1-inch cubes),
6 oz. diced cod (1-inch cubes),
12 fresh, cleaned mussels ( frozen, cooked mussels can be used),
1 cup sliced celery,
1 chopped onion,
the white part of 1 leek, chopped,
1 diced carrot,
3 tablespoon olive oil,

Recipe: In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic, onion, leek, celery and carrot for 5-6 minutes or until soft. Add the pomodoro sauce and water (or fish stock), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer the seafood soup for about 10 minutes. Season to taste and add the fresh herbs and seafood. Simmer covered for another 6-7 minutes. Add more liquid if needed. If using fresh mussels, make sure they are well washed before cooking them, and discard any unopened mussels at the end. Tip: This is a healthy, low fat soup and is delicious as it is, I can assure you that, but if you wish to throw a few beans in it, well, it's your call. I did it after I had taken the photo, and it was amazing.
