SERVES

COOK TIME
30 Min

No, it's not really soup, but this spiced-up clam broth would be a treat even without the succulent clams. Zuppa de Clams is a must-try! 

What You'll Need

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 (28-ounce) can Italian-style whole tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 dozen cherrystone or littleneck clams, cleaned
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

What to Do

  1. In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and red pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the garlic is golden.

  2. Add the tomatoes, sugar, and salt; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Add the clams, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.

  4. Stir in the parsley and serve.

Notes

To make this a complete meal, serve the clams and sauce in bowls with lots of bread for dunking.
