Easy Bouillabaisse Recipe Looks Good, Tastes Better

For years, my mom has made her Cioppino seafood soup recipe on Christmas Eve. The fish soup, long a family favorite, is a true catch of the day recipe; my mom makes it a little bit differently every year. It takes time to get everything together to make Cioppino, but it's surprisingly easy to put together. Sauté some onions and garlic, add in tomato sauce, wine and spices and just before you serve, toss in the seafood. It's really that easy.

And this Cioppino recipe is so good. It's perfect for a cold evening and has always left my friends suitably impressed with my culinary achievements. The bouillabaisse recipe makes the whole house smell wonderful while it's cooking and by the time it's served, it's quickly devoured.

I know you're thinking, ok, so this is a change, but that's the great thing about writing for Suite101: We're encouraged to write about what we love and never discouraged from posting articles on other areas of the magazine's website. So yes, I'll keep writing the business articles, but I'll also post a few more of mom's incredible recipes in coming weeks.
