ZUPPA DE CLAMS (OR MUSSELS)



Zuppa De Clams (Or Mussels) image

This is a delicious Italian first course soup, as good with mussels as it is with clams. The servings are large, so adjust accordingly if desired. Time does not include preparing the clams. This is pretty much the soup I would get when I'd order it in New York family Italian restaurants. You can add a bit of clam broth if you like, but steaming the claims in the broth as is gives it a nice flavor. And in this version, the tomatoes, not paste, would be used.

Provided by Charmed

Categories     European

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

48 baby clams (mahogany clams or little necks are fine too, approximately) or 48 mussels
salt and pepper
2/3 cup olive oil
2 -3 garlic cloves (to taste)
4 sprigs flat-leaf Italian parsley, rinsed dried and coarsely chopped
1 -2 tablespoon finely minced fresh sweet basil (to taste) (optional)
1 (28 ounce) can italian peeled plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped (reserve liquid)
sliced fresh crusty rustic Italian bread or French bread

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the clams and soak them in a large bowl in cold, salted water for about 30 minutes.
  • Any remaining sand should fall to the bottom of the bowl.
  • Drain the clams and rinse them well in a colander under running water.
  • Crush one clove of garlic, and slice the remaining cloves very thin.
  • In a large, heavy pan, sauté the crushed garlic until it begins to brown, then remove from the pan and discard.
  • Add the remaining sliced garlic and the parsley.
  • Cook over very low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and enough liquid to just make a slightly soupy dish.
  • You don't want too much liquid in this, but judge the amount to your taste.
  • Season with the salt and pepper, then raise the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
  • (Add more liquid if necessary).
  • Add the clams, lower the heat again, cover pan, and let steam for about 10 minutes, or until the shells have opened and the clams are ready.
  • Discard any unopened clams.
  • Sprinkle with more freshly ground pepper and the basil, if desired.
  • (You can substitute a teaspoon of dried if you wish).
  • Serve in shallow bowls with slices of bread for dunking.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh clams and mussels. Fresh seafood is essential for making a delicious soup. Look for clams and mussels that are tightly closed and have a briny smell.
  • Soak the clams and mussels in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shells.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will add flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Clams and mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked seafood will become tough and rubbery.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Clam and mussel soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its simple ingredients and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a seafood soup to try, give this Sicilian-style clam and mussel soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
