When I seen this being made on Hungry Girl the other day it looked and sounded too good not to try! I went earlier today to stock up on the inredients and also picked up a loaf of freshly Sour Dough Bread, from the Kroger Bakery. It looked delicious but I had never heard of Cioppino so I looked it up and here's what I found:
Cioppino is a fish stew originating in San Francisco. It is considered an Italian-American dish, and is related to various regional fish soups and stews of Italian cuisine. Cioppino is traditionally made from the catch of the day, which in the dish's place of origin is typically a combination of dungeness crab, clams, shrimp, scallops, squid, mussels and fish. The seafood is then combined with fresh tomatoes in a wine sauce, and served with toasted bread, either sourdough or baguette. The dish is comparable to cacciucco and brodetto from Italy, as well as other fish dishes from the Mediterranean region such as bouillabaisse, burrida, and bourride of the French Provence, suquet de peix from Catalan speaking regions of coastal Spain.
This recipe from Hungrey Girl called for Clams and Shrimp. The recipe also called for Amy's Organic Light In Sodium Chunky Tomato Bisque but they were out of stock of that so I went with a can of Amy's Organic Light In Sodium Cream of Tomato and when preparing it I added a half a can of Tomato Paste to it to thicken it up a bit. It's very easy to make and every bit as delicious as it sounded! What a great combination to make a healthy and hearty Soup and it's only 185 calories and 20 carbs. I topped it with some crumbled John Wm Macy's Cheese Sticks and I had a side of Sour Dough Loaf Bread. This is a fantastic recipe, give it a try! I left the recipe along with the link to "Hungrey Girl" at the end of the post. For dessert later a 100 Calorie Breyer's Ice Cream Bar.
