How to Make Italian Seafood Soup

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup clam juice, 1/2 cup dry white wine, and the liquid from 1 (10-ounce) can of clams, reserving clams for later.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 (10-ounce) can of clams (drained), and 1/2 cup crab meat.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and black pepper to taste.
  9. Simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with extra basil if desired.
