» Jacqueline Church - seafood soups

This is a classic Christmas Eve Italian dinner, I believe. Did you know how Cioppino got its name? Cioppino is sort of the San Francisco version of Zuppa de Pesce...the North Beach fishermen used up their catch by "chipping in" this and that after selling off the bulk of it. So they'd go up and down the docks saying "hey whaddya chippin in?" It became cioppin-o!
I just made some killer seafood chowder in my new Staub bouillabaisse pot. Clams, scallops and haddock, potatoes, corn, smokey bacon....yum.

Ah- leave it to my gourmet pal Jacqui to share these gems- that's a cool story and I had heard of Cioppino, but didn't know it's more humble origins. Thanks for that!
