Clam soup

Step by step

1. Step 1

   Soak the clams in salt water for 1 hour to get them to release any sand. Wash thoroughly and put by.

   Chop up the onion, garlic and pepper. Grate the tomatoes.
   Gently fry the chopped onion over a low heat for 10 minutes and add the chopped garlic, pepper, bay leaf, saffron and grated tomato.

   Once it is all lightly fried (about 5 minutes), add the warmed fish stock and clams. When the clams start to open, turn off the heat.
   Top off with toasted bread croutons and chopped parsley.

2. ‘- Don’t add any salt to the soup, because the tasty clams already give it a salty taste.
   – You can buy delicious readymade fish stock if you don’t have time to make it at home.
   – No clams? No worries! Simply crumble in some cooked fish or add some mussels or fried calamari, although you’ll have to change the name of the soup.
