Saute the leeks, onions, celery, garlic and mushrooms until the onions
are clear. Add the stock, nectar or water, tomato sauce and white wine.
Bring to a heavy simmer and taste. Add the cayenne pepper and salt to
taste.
Prepare the seafood and add to the pot, remembering to add first those
things which take longest to cook. The various shellfish go in with the
shells on.
Simmer until done. Serve in large bowls over spaghetti. By adding extra
fish such as a lobster per person this will become a meal instead of a
soup.
