I would give this 5-stars if the recipe called for fresh herbs; I'll always use fresh herbs as I just don't care for the taste of dried. That being said, I used fresh herbs and crushed my own tomatoes. It was very good! I didn't have clam juice but it was perfectly fine without it. Nice, basic, tasty cioppino recipe. Go fresh, though, you'll never regret it.

This was absolutely delicious!! I would give this more stars. I didn't have a red chile pepper so I used a small amount of red pepper flakes instead. I used shrimp, scallops and Talapia, instead of Cod, as recommended by another reviewer. It was even better the next day. I will make this again and this will be great for my dinner party! Thank you for the great recipe!

I replaced green bell pepper with a red one and used jalapeno pepper + anaheim pepper and it turned out great. I tried recipe with cod and tilapia, tilapia was a lot better. Serve it over some jasmine rice and it's amazing.

This recipe was excellent - very easy to follow and came out perfectly - our family loved it!! We have one family member who can't eat scallops, so I substituted 1/4lb shredded crabmeat, which added to the body of the soup. Also, I used 1 tsp of crushed read pepper instead of a red chile. Super yummy!

I used squid, cod, and shrimp in my Cioppino...I didn't have any red chilli peppers so I used crushed red chilli peppers from a bottle. A wonderful recipe!!!

Sooo good! Made a couple of small changes but nothing major. Served it San Francisco style with hot sour dough bread and nothing more. Love it and thanks for the recipe!

This was absolutely amazing. For my seafood, I used one pound of shrimp, one pound of mussels, and 24 clams. It was just outstanding!

Made this for my husband's birthday dinner because he loves this kind of thing in restaurants. I didn't think I'd be too too wild about it but, WOW, was it ever good! The seasonings were addictive. Glad I tried it.

Good recipe. I didn't have a red chili pepper so I used 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in place of it. I only had a red bell pepper so I used it in place of the green bell pepper. Pollock was on sale for $1.99 a pound so I used pollock in place of the cod. I served it with a crusty artisan bread for dipping. I used a pinot gris for the wine. One cup for the cioppino and the rest for the cook.
