Preparation

Baking Directions:

In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Add the fennel, garlic, shallots, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 4 minutes.

Add the sausage and break into 1/2-inch pieces with a wooden spoon.

Cook until brown, about 5 minutes.

Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth and bay leaf.

Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Uncover the pan and add the shrimp, beans, basil, and thyme.

Simmer, uncovered, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf and discard.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Ladle the cioppino into soup bowls and serve with crusty bread.
