1. Start by preparing the fish and seafood. If using mussels or clams, make sure they are cleaned and scrubbed well before using. If using shrimp, peel and de-vein them before using. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces.

2. Chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté them in olive oil over medium heat until they are softened and lightly browned.

3. Add the tomato sauce or tomato paste, and cook for a few minutes until the flavors have melded together.

4. Add the white wine and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly.

5. Add the fish and seafood to the pot, along with the fish broth or stock, bay leaves, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish and seafood are cooked through.
