Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in thyme, oregano, red-pepper flakes, and bay leaf.

Add crushed tomatoes and their juice, white wine, water, and clam juice; bring to a simmer.

Remove pot from heat. Stir in parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/06/2018   I followed this recipe almost exactly (maybe a few extra crushed chilies) and it was amazing. Here in Toronto the seafood cost me close to a hundred bucks though. I would totally make this again, this fed four and everyone loved it. Served it with french bread.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       03/26/2016   Omg! Loved it! This is great for a company dinner. I doubled the broth and made it a day ahead which enhanced the flavor. I cooked the broth about an hour the day I served it. Once all the seafood was cooked, I turned off the heat, added two tablespoons of unsalted butter, and let it sit for a few minutes. We served it in big bowls with linguine and crusty bread. Add a salad and dinner is done! We got rave reviews from the entire family and leftovers were delicious too.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/03/2014   I made this cioppino recipe and even downloaded some Italian cooking music from iTunes before starting! I used clams, mussels, shrimp, a firm fish (mahi mahi) & added a small steamed lobster tail on top of each bowl! I also sizzled some crostini bread slices in olive oil and then added some grated parmesan cheese to one side.. they were sizzling crisp and I laid 2 slices next to the lobster tails on each bowl for soaking up the broth - outstanding!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/10/2013   LOVE this recipe! It was easy with a sensational result. I omitted the red pepper flakes cause I don't like the heat. I live waaaaay out in Far West Texas and don't have access to fresh clams & mussels. So used the seafood & fish I had in the freezer from a recent trip to the big city: scallops, shrimp and salmon. It worked! So my interpretation is: feel free to use whatever seafood or fish you have on hand or can easily get! The broth base pulls it all together. Thanks for a great recipe!
