Clam soup is one of the simplest, easiest and tastiest seafood soup, if you ask me. The aroma and the flavors is comforting in a hot or cold season. You only need a few ingredients and they are mostly available in your fridge. The key to this delicious dish is the fresh main ingredient, The clams.
The fresh clams need to soak in water overnight to open up and get rid of the sands. When the water from the shells will be murky and blurry then this is the time the shells are ready to cook.
This recipe is pretty straightforward, but soothing and delicious.

How easy is that?
What could be more fresher and special when you get your clams yourself? We got one large bag of clams from the beach. It’s abundant that season around August. They are so easy to get, sometimes you have to dig a bit from your toes to find them. It’s fun!
We caught a tiny crab
Don’t worry if you can’t find fresh clams, you can also use frozen one’s in the supermarket. It’s as good as the fresh too.

Thank you Mother nature for the fresh abundance.
And a Beautiful sunset for everyone
