How to prepare the recipe: "Fish soup":

Clean the octopus remove the central eye and the horny beak, wash well and dry it, remove the bag from the tentacles, peel and cut into pieces.

Brush off the seafood; put in a pan and let them open on the heat. Filter the broth and keep apart.

Sprinkle the seafood with some white wine, add the filtered broth and cook and shrink the gravy at medium heat.

Put a pan on the heat with half glass of olive oil with the chopped onion and a mashed clove of garlic. Fry slightly, add red hot chili pepper, minced parsley, lauro, peeled tomatoes (seedless and chopped), seafood broth and some more water in order to have an abundant broth.

Chef's advice
This is a typical dish of regional Italian cuisine, from Tuscany exactly; you can serve the soup into the same earthenware casserole used for cooking, serving aside the slices of bread rubbed with garlic.
The recommended wine is San Torpè (white) or Rosso delle Ripalte (red).
