Seafood Soup ‘Zuppa’

Olio’s Seafood Soup ‘Zuppa’

The Signature Seafood Soup is basically my Sicilian Heritage of homeland Mediterranean flavours

“the base itself is quite simple, just garlic, onion, carrot, celery, zucchini, white wine and prawn stock. The crucial elements are the terracotta pot it’s cooked in and the premium Australian seafood cooked into the stew.
