Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped onions, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed red chili flakes and dried oregano, cooking for an additional minute to release the flavors.

Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Let simmer until the wine reduces slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the crushed San Marzano tomatoes and fish or seafood stock. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mussels and clams. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shells open. Discard any that do not open.

Step 8

Add the shrimp and calamari to the pot. Stir gently and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the calamari is tender.

Step 9

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley and torn basil leaves.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot in bowls with a drizzle of olive oil on top. Accompany with crusty bread for dipping.
