Cioppino started out as a humble dish. Back in the 1800's, the Italian fishermen of North Beach used the scraps or leftovers from the day's catch to create it. This soup contains a little bit of everything from the sea, floating in a base of tomatoes, wine, herbs and aromatics. Use whatever seafood you prefer. Love crab? Throw some crab in there. Don't like shrimp? Leave it out...it's completely up to you what you want to put in your cioppino, just have fun while you're doing it.
