1 head fennel, thinly sliced
Large pinch crushed red pepper, to taste, add more if you like spice
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs thyme
2 large tomatoes, roughly chopped

Add mussels, stir, cover and cook for 1 minute more.
Add shrimp, stir, cover and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Add scallops, stir, cover and cook for about 2 minutes, or until shrimp and scallops are opaque and most of the mussels and clams are opened. Discard those that do not open. Turn off heat.
Add basil and parsley. Stir sun-dried tomato puree into broth, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crusty bread, lightly toasted.
