 Heat the oil in a large soup pot.  Saute' the onion and garlic until the onions are transluscent.  
Add all of the other ingredients except the shrimp, clams and the fish. Simmer for 1 hour or
 until the veggetables are tender.  Add the seafood and cook for 7 to 10 minutes at a low boil.

 NOTE:  I have added on occassion 1/4 cup rice to this recipe and it is good that way too.

 Serves 8 to 10.
