Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot, combine the clam juice and reserved juice from the canned clams. Bring to a boil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes to the boiling broth. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are tender. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the condensed tomato soup and tomato sauce, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Season generously with dried parsley and black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Gently add the drained clams to the pot. Cook just until they are heated through, being careful not to overcook them. (3 minutes)

For an enhanced depth of flavor, consider sautéing the onions and carrots in a bit of olive oil before adding them to the broth.
Fresh parsley can be substituted for dried parsley, use double the amount.
To prevent the clams from becoming rubbery, avoid boiling the chowder after they have been added. Reheat gently over low heat.
A dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick to this chowder.
