Ingredients:

1     cup           white wine
3     pounds        mussels
                    and rinsed
2     pounds        clams
1 1/2 cups          red wine vinegar
1 1/4 cups          extra-virgin olive oil
3                   salted anchovy fillets
2                   red bell peppers
1     medium        red onion
2                   celery ribs
1                   carrot
2                   garlic cloves
4     slices        country bread
1/4   cup           chopped Italian parsley

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In 2 separate pots, place 1/2 cup of the white wine. Add mussels to 1 pot, clams to the other, cover both pots and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to an active simmer and cook until mussels and clams have been steamed open, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the shellfish from their respective pots, reserving the cooking liquid, and allow to cool. Once cool, shuck shellfish and discard shells.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large soup pot, combine the shellfish cooking liquid, vinegar, 1 cup of the oil, anchovies, peppers, onion, celery, carrot and garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the shellfish and stir to heat through.
Meanwhile, toast the bread in the oven for 4 minutes, until light golden brown and crispy.
Divide the soup among heated soup bowls, drizzle with the remaining oil, sprinkle with parsley and serve with a slice of toast floating on top.
This recipe yields 8 servings.
