  • 1 in a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. add onions and celery and cook stirring for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • 2 add garlic, oregano, peppercorns and cook stirring for another minute.
  • 3 stir in tomato paste and flour and cook another minute.
  • 4 add vegetable broth (or chicken broth), tomatoes and tomato juice and bring to a boil. continue to cook for about 3-5 more minutes. remove from heat and transfer mixture to crock pot.
  • 5 add chicken and stir to combine. cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  • 6 stir in shrimp, clams, peppers, and parsley. cover and cook on high for 30 minutes.
  • 7 meanwhile in a baggie combine chili powder and cayenne. add scallops and toss to coat.

  • 9 add scallops to crock pot, stirring in well.
  • 10 spoon soup in bowls and serve with hot pepper sauce if desired. i thought this was spicy enough without the tabasco sauce - but my son added a lot to his serving.
