      1 ts Basil Leaf - crumbled

      1 ts Salt

    1/4 ts Pepper

      1 lb Fresh/Frozen Halibut Steak

  In a heavy soup pot, saute onion, green pepper, celery, carrot, and garlic
  in olive oil until soft.
  Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil,  bay leaf, salt and pepper. Heat to
  boiling, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 2 hours. Remove and discard
  bay leaf.
  Add the halibut, shrimp, scallops and wine, simmer 10 minutes.
  Place clams and fish in pot and steam 5 - 10 minutes until the clams open
  and the fish is flaky.*
  Serve in soup bowls, sprinkled with parsley, accompanied by French or
  sourdough bread.
  *I have found it easier to steam the clams open separately and add them to
  the soup.
