How to Make Crab Cioppino

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 6-quart pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers and is fragrant, add 1 large chopped onion and 4 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of fish broth, 1 cup of dry white wine (like a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio), and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. (Optional) The soup can be prepared ahead up to this point. Refrigerate until ready to finish.
  7. Gently break apart 1 1/2 pounds of Dungeness crab (or your favorite crab), cleaning and removing any unwanted pieces. Cut the crab bodies into quarters and crack the legs.
  8. Add the prepared crab to the simmering soup and cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook.
