While in the supermarket looking for mussels to prepare a French dish, I came across a bag of frozen mixed seafood. I already had some cod filets at home, and figured this would be a great (and inexpensive) way to make ciopinno soup. Not traditional, but it turned out hearty, delicious, and a definite keeper!
Ingredients:
16 ounces frozen salad shrimp (really frozen mixed seafood)
1 lb cod fish fillet (cubed)
14 ounces diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 onion (diced)

3/4 cup roasted red pepper (chopped)
1/4 cup red wine
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Saute onion and garlic in evoo on med/high heat in a large dutch oven, or stew pot.
2. After browned, add tomatoes, stock, olives, roasted red peppers wine, all seasonings.
3. Simmer for 25 minutes on med/low, covered.
4. Defrost frozen mixed seafood under running water (approx. 4 minutes).
