Instructions

  1. Step 1 Sauté aromatics

    Heat olive oil in large heavy stockpot. Stir in onion, pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add bay leaf, oregano and parsley; cook an additional 1-2 minutes.

  2. Step 2 Add remaining ingredients and simmer

    Stir in white wine and cook 1-2 minutes. Stir in and break up tomatoes. Cook 10-15 minutes, adding beans and fish during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

    Cook’s tips: If using frozen seafood portions, rinse any ice glaze off under cold water, then add seafood to soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Cover the pan tightly and cook 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the seafood rest in the soup for 5 minutes. Break seafood into large chunks to serve.

    This soup is excellent with Alaska pollock and cod.
