Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 6 cups homemade seafood broth
  • 1 pound firm white fish fillets (like cod or snapper), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 pound mussels, cleaned and debearded
  • 1/2 pound clams, scrubbed
  • 1/2 pound crab meat (lump or claw)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and the seafood broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the white fish pieces to the simmering broth. Cook for 3 minutes.
  6. Add the shrimp, mussels, and clams to the pot. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the mussels and clams have opened. Discard any shellfish that do not open.
  7. Gently stir in the crab meat. Heat through for 1 minute.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a richer, creamy seafood soup, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream or 1/4 cup of tomato paste along with the broth in Step 4.
  • If you do not have homemade seafood broth, use good quality low-sodium fish stock.
  • To make this a spicy seafood soup, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce at the end.
