Very tasty cioppino!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My bf surprised me with this soup for Valentine's day. It was soo yummy. Definitely a good dish to impress your lady! :) He... followed the recipe almost exactly. He wasn't able to find the lobster stock so he used seafood stock instead. Also, the other thing he changed to the recipe is he used about 1 3/4 cans of tomato puree because we prefer our cioppino a bit more tomato-like. But I think next time we're just going to use the entire 2 cans :) And, to save time, he used fresh crab meat so we didn't have to spend time cracking the crabs :P The cioppino was absolutely delicious. I'm definitely having the bf make it again for me!Read more

I thought it was wonderful but I had to add more tomato puree because I used fish stock instead of lobster stock and it was... way to fishy.Read more
