Spicy seafood soup

Seafood soup is a great way to combine various types of shellfish and white fish into a flavorful, spicy broth. In a large pot, add 4 tablespoons olive oil, 3 cups chopped tomatoes, 4 sliced bell peppers and 2 cloves minced garlic. Add 3 pounds of white fish cut into pieces, cover with water, then half of the sauce and let cook for 15 minutes. Add a handful of shrimp and a handful of calamari, along with the rest of the sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes. Finally, cook 1 pound of mussels in a separate, large pot along with 1/2 cup white wine, then strain and add to the rest of the soup. Season and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
