We have excellent Seafood Chowders here in Ireland but today I want to introduce you to this Mediterranean Diet, Italian Seafood Stew recipe. Like all the Mediteranean countries, Italy has a huge variety of seafood recipes. This soup is from the region of Tuscany. It’s a combination of seafood and fish with vegetables and actually reminds me a bit of our Irish Seafood Chowder. Unlike our chowder where we use a creamy base to make a rich and filling meal, this Italian Seafood Soup has a tomato and white wine base. It’s simple, lovely and fragrant and taste wonderful as a starter or main dish served with crusty, homemade bread.
