2 Tblsp. tomato paste
1 1/2 Tblsp. sugar
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. bay leaf
1 baking potato, peeled and cut into 1-2" pieces

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the soup is thick but still fairly liquid, about 30 min. Season to taste with salt/pepper. Discard any clams that are cracked or open. Add the clams to the pot along with the fish and shrimp. Raise the heat slightly, cover and cook until the fish flakes, the shrimp turn pink and the clams open (20 minutes). Discard any clams that do not open during ocoking. Ladle into warmed bowls, garnish with cilantro and pass the lime wedges at the table.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I always have a few pieces of fish or shrimp in the freezer, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder turned out too watery. I think I'll add less liquid next time.

This chowder is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers.
