Instructions

  1. In a large 5.5 quart ceramic stock pot over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil, fennel bulb, onion, leeks, garlic, Bragg’s seasoning, sea salt and pepper. Saute for about 5-8 minutes until the vegetables are translucent and soft.

Notes

* If you prefer to use fresh clams for this recipe, use the following instructions:

  1. Once you purchase the clams, be sure to scrub and rinse them several times under cold running water. Then, place the clams in a large stock pot and add 3 cups of cold water.
  2. Bring the stockpot to a simmer over medium-high heat, then cover and cook until the clams open. This should take about 6 minutes.
  3. When cooked through, you’re going to strain the clams through a mesh sieve into a large bowl; reserve the broth for the recipe. Transfer the clams to a bowl and cover so they don’t dry out until you need them.
  4. For step 4 above, you’re going to remove the clams from their shells and roughly chop. Then add to the stockpot to complete the recipe.
