Preparation:
Zuppa di Pesce translates as fish soup. A zuppa is usually a thick soup served over pieces of toasted bread.
1. Combine the onion, celery or fennel and olive oil in a large broad saucepan. Cook, stirring over low heat until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and heat to boiling; boil 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf, oregano and pepper; stir to break up tomatoes. Cook uncovered, 5 minutes.
2. Add the fish and shrimp. Cover and cook over low heat until the fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Place a crostini in each bowl. Divide fish and broth evenly among the bowls. Sprinkle with parsley. |
