Cioppino
This is another great soup that is so versatile! Use the seafood that is fresh in your area or that you just love. I used halibut ~ use cod if you want. I used mussels ~ you can use clams…or use both! I used shrimp and scallops…add or substitute crab and/or lobster. Have fun with this…I used red wine ~ you can also use white wine. Enjoy the extra couple of glasses while you chop away!
