Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, chopped fine
2 ribs of celery, chopped fine
2 carrots, chopped fine
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
6 cups bottled clam juice
6 cups water
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 pounds kielbasa (Polish smoked sausage), cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
30 small hard-shelled clams, such as littlenecks, cleaned (procedure follows)
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a heavy kettle cook the onion, the celery, the carrots, and the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, stir in the tomatoes, the clam juice, the water, and the red pepper flakes, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 3 minutes. In a heavy skillet brown the kielbasa in batches over moderate heat, transferring it as it is browned to paper towels to drain. To the tomato mixture add the clams and boil them, covered, for 3 to 6 minutes, transferring them as they are opened to a bowl. Discard any unopened clams and return the opened ones to the tomato mixture. Stir in the kielbasa, the parsley, and salt to taste and heat the soup until it is hot.
  • To clean hard-shelled clams:
  • Scrub the clams thoroughly with a stiff brush under cold water discarding any that have cracked shells or that are not shut tightly.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this soup was just the right amount of heat. The sausage and clams were both tender and flavorful, and the broth was rich and flavorful.

This soup is perfect for a cold winter day. It's hearty and flavorful, and the sausage and clams make it a complete meal.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that was because I used a spicy sausage. Next time I will use a milder sausage and see if that helps.

This soup was a disaster! The clams were tough and the broth was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

The soup was good, but I found the clam flavor to be a bit overwhelming. I think I would prefer it with less clams next time.
