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 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon 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
- 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.
- Add the tomatoes, sugar, and salt; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the clams, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.
- 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.
