Cioppino

"Originally posted on Allrecipes.com by Star Pooley - Aug 21st 2010, I made this for my friends massive summer BBQ and Pig Roast. I changed the serving size to 30 people and it still wasn’t enough. Even when it just broth / soup in the bottom of the pan, people came by and dipped bits of food to soak it up. I actually never got a taste but everyone loved it. Several people told me to make again next year. The only changes I made were these. I used unsalted butter, I left out the scallops (allergies) and I added a some Andouille Sausage. For onions, I used Walla Walla’s and for fish I used Rock Fish (I live in the Northwest). I added the sliced sausage just as the onion, garlic and parsley mixture was done. The rest was as the recipe stated. No salt. No pepper."

Pretty darn good! I subbed calamari for the fish. Make sure to have plenty of bread to soak up the juices!!! I might add a tablespoon of tomato paste next time, just to make the broth a bit richer.
