Welcome cooler weather with healthy, clean eating comfort food! This Slow Cooker Seafood Cioppino is an easy, family-friendly Crock Pot seafood soup that is full of lean protein, nutritious vegetables, and fresh Italian flavors. It’s a one-pot meal that the entire family will love!

There’s something about fall and the onset of the cooler temperatures that just gets me so excited to pull out my slow cooker and heat up a big pot of something warm. With our busy school and sports schedules, I rely on my Crock Pot to do the hard work in my kitchen while I’m running around like a crazy person with three boys in tow.

At the end of a long day, there’s nothing better than walking in to a house that smells good and a dinner that is ready to eat!

I make plenty of barbecue chicken and beef roasts in my slow cooker, but our family also loves seafood. In the summer we often grill fish outside or enjoy cold tuna salad sandwiches; however, those options aren’t quite as appealing once the seasons change.

That’s why I’m so excited about today’s recipe! Do you know about Cioppino? It’s an Italian-American fish stew that’s traditionally loaded with delicious seafood, including clams, shrimp, scallops, fish, crab, and mussels.

I managed to combine our favorite {and healthy} seafoods in one delicious bowl of soup that can simmer for hours in my slow cooker while I go about the rest of my business. The familiar Italian seasonings make this a dish that even kids enjoy as well! BONUS!

What Seafood To Add?

This recipe is so easy to prepare (and only requires about 10 minutes of hands-on time) because I rely on pantry staples like this Bumble Bee® Tuna. I buy the Solid White Albacore in Water, because that’s what my mom has always served.

Any of the Bumble Bee® Albacore products will work, though, so just use whatever you prefer. They are such an easy and delicious way to add a variety of nutrients to your diet including lean protein, healthy fat, and important vitamins and minerals.

How To Make Seafood Cioppino

This recipe is as easy as 1-2-3! First, chop some veggies…

and add them to your slow cooker along with seasonings, diced tomatoes, liquid, and tomato paste. Cook on low for about 5 hours.

At the end of the cooking time, toss in some tuna and other seafood.

Give it a stir and let everything warm up for a few minutes before serving.  A nice hunk of crusty bread on the side doesn’t hurt either!

This is such a delicious way to sneak some healthy ingredients into your family’s body. The leftovers also keep well in the refrigerator for a couple of days, so feel free to reheat and enjoy for lunch throughout the week. Trust me…I know this from experience!
