Tasty and flavorful. I made a few changes based on what I had in the pantry and fridge, but nothing substantive ... hake instead of cod, small white instead of red potatoes, and I tossed in a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes with the can of diced tomatoes listed in the recipe ingredients. I also used a bit more liquid than the recipe called for, but not much. All the flavors blended together really well ... my Italian husband, who liked it a lot, called it "a Spanish cioppino." I agree and think it would only benefit from the addition of other kinds of fish -- some clams and/or shrimp along with the cod or other mild white fish.

Served with an Italian white wine (verdiccio) and the pairing worked better than expected, given that a crisp, white wine might have been too acidic to serve with a somewhat spicy tomato-based soup.
