Ingredients

  • 1 large can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes with juice
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup parsley (chopped)
  • 1 green pepper (chopped)
  • Optional: 1 hot pepper (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 2 teaspoons basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • For the Seafood:
  • 1 fillet of seabass, cod or other whitefish (deboned and cubed)
  • 1 dozen prawns
  • 1 dozen scallops
  • 1 dozen mussels
  • 1 dozen clams (can use canned)

Steps to Make It

  1. Place all ingredients except seafood in the slow cooker.

  2. Cover and cook 6 to 8 hours on low.

  3. About 30 minutes before serving, add your seafood. Turn the heat up to HIGH and stir occasionally (but gently). If desired, add 1/2 cup of water to thin out soup.

Tips

  • Serve with true sourdough bread if you can find it. Something with a really 'sour' taste is perfect for this cioppino. Don't be afraid to dunk your bread in the cioppino as it's considered perfectly good manners in this case.
  • Use your imagination and personal preferences as to what seafood to add. Some choose to serve with fresh cracked crab when in season.
