    By far, the BEST! I searched and read several recipes before stumbling upon this one. This made sense AND it served fewer people. This does feed at least 4 people. I am glad I read the reviews first, as I too like more tomatoes, so I added 1 can of italian diced tomatoes that was seasoned in basil and garlic and one 28oz can of tomato puree. Actually found seafood broth (I'm in the NW, and boiled a thawed lobster tail in it with a little added water, Shelled, deveined and chopped up the lobster to add to this recipe. All in all, I had red snapper, halibut, mussels, clams, lobster and shrimp. Use VERY little sea salt. My husband LOVED it. Thanks!!

    This is a very, very good recipe. I have tried other Cioppino recipes, none compare. The only thing I changed was to saute the onions, red bell pepper and garlic until tender. Then I added the tomato, etc. The seafood went in for the last 15 minutes. I did not deviate from the recipe, but did withhold half the seafood for the second night. That way it is not reheated, but cooked fresh in the sauce. The flavors are even better the second night. Enjoy!

    After spending a fortune on seafood I wasn't about to deviate from the recipe. I bought a lobster to add to the cioppino and used the shell to make stock. So worth it! I used the cooking water from the lobster and added onion, carrot, garlic, salt and pepper. I boiled it for about an hour and had a beautiful, rich stock for the ciopinno. My husband declared this recipe the best he's ever had.
    We can't wait to eat the leftovers for dinner tonight.

    I have made a few and this is the best! However this recipe feeds way more than 2 people.

    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!

    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.
