Seafood Soup

Seafood soup is made by first sautéing onions, garlic, and bell peppers in oil until they are soft. The seafood is then added to the pan and cooked until it is just opaque. Chicken or vegetable broth is then added to the pan along with diced tomatoes and various herbs and spices. The soup is simmered for several minutes until the flavors have melded together. The soup is typically served with crusty bread or crackers.
