shrimp-oppino

After reading Christine's cioppino adventure I had to make some. I've
been such a copy cat this week, first Barb's crepes and now this.

I finally got around to making it tonight. For one reason or another I
ended up using some of the ingredients this week, so I had to make a
few adjustments.

This is what I came up with.

Mise in place.

Sauté onion and leek

Add tomatoes, wine etc....The broth was so good I could have stopped
here and sipped it out of a cup.

Add seafood

The seafood blend from Trader Joe's contained shrimp, bay scallops and
calamari.

Tomorrow I am going to add some finely diced cooked potato to this for
a little change.

Shrimp-oppino

soups/stews

3 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion; chopped
1 leek, white only; chopped
2 teaspoons salt
4 large garlic cloves; minced
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes; or more to taste
1/4 cup Tomato paste
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes; in juice
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
4 cups vegetable stock
1 lb. seafood blend
I used Trader Joe's brand
1 lb. shrimp; cleaned and peeled
basil; chopped, as garnish

Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
Add the onion, leek and salt. Sauté until the onion is translucent,
about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes,
and saute a couple of minutes more.
Stir in the tomato paste, and the tomatoes with their juices, wine,
vegetable stock and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cover and simmer until the flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
Add the seafood blend and shrimp to the cooking liquid.
Simmer gently until the seafood blend and shrimp are just cooked
through, about 5 minutes longer. Remove bay leaf.
Season the soup, to taste, with more salt and red pepper flakes.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
Sprinkle with chopped basil.
