TUSCAN SEAFOOD STEW

Monday, April 1, 2019 Edit
This simple, healthy and easy Tuscan Seafood Stew is perfect for dinner or a special occasion filled with fresh clams, shrimp and fish.
Making this healthy Tuscan Seafood Stew was so fun for me. I joined with 11 other bloggers to bring to you a Feast of Seven Fishes. Feast of Seven Fishes is an Italian meal served on Christmas Eve to celebrate with friends and family. Even though the number seven is in the title, the meal can actually have many different number of courses, but they are all seafood. I am bringing you the soup or stew course. Even though I am calling this dish a stew, I would say it is somewhere in between a soup or stew. A seafood stew has to have lots of delicious, aromatic broth to dip bread in. In my mind it is an absolute necessity.
