Soup, kind of. This dish is more like clams in broth with some veg. The best part is sopping up the broth with some crusty bread! Clams are my comfort food, linguini clams for Sunday Supper, or just a simple broth warms my belly on a cold winter evening. For some reason the leftovers are even better the next day for lunch!

The base is chicken stock with flavors of garlic, onion, and white wine. The red pepper flakes add the spice!

Enjoy one my favorite recipes ever…
