Quick Answer. Scallops are not made from stingrays. A stingray is an ancient type of fish with a cartilage skeleton. A scallop is a type of marine mollusk.
Make soup: Bring 2 cups broth to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then add dried scallops and remove from heat. Soak, covered, 15 minutes. Return scallop mixture to low heat and simmer, uncovered, until scallops are soft and pale, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool in cooking liquid.
