Cioppino: A #1 Seafood Soup
Cioppino is the quintessence of seafood dish. I love tartness, tang and even taste buds on fire. And, I love using the beautiful soup tureens that I picked up over the years. Great food in a beautiful dish… does it get better?
I still do not know how to pronounce this… I usually point at it on the menu. It is always a wonderful choice, and always a bit different. I have asked for the recipe at several restaurants, and their response has been great; however, the recipes have been for about 45 folk… Not my usual family gathering! This recipe, which serves 6, came from a neighbor who swears it is the best. Oh, she is oh so close!
Cioppino
1 lb firm fish fillets
1/2 green pepper
2 T minced onion
1 t crushed garlic
1 t olive oil
