Clam soup is one of the simplest, easiest and tastiest seafood soup, if you ask me. The aroma and the flavors is comforting in a hot or cold season. You only need a few ingredients and they are mostly available in your fridge. The key to this delicious dish is the fresh main ingredient, The clams.
The fresh clams need to soak in water overnight to open up and get rid of the sands. When the water from the shells will be murky and blurry then this is the time the shells are ready to cook.
This recipe is pretty straightforward, but soothing and delicious.
Ingredients
Fresh clams
Tomato, 2 medium size
Ginger, peeled and crushed
Onion,
Salt and Pepper
Cilantro , optional
Pandan leaf, optional
Rice water or water, 5 cups or more
Preparations
- In a large pot, combine the chopped tomato, crushed ginger, onion, rice water and pandan leaf, if using.

- Add the fresh clams and reboil.
4.Simmer for a few minutes.
5.Season with salt and pepper. - Add the fresh cilantro and it’s ready to serve.
How easy is that?
What could be more fresher and special when you get your clams yourself? We got one large bag of clams from the beach. It’s abundant that season around August. They are so easy to get, sometimes you have to dig a bit from your toes to find them. It’s fun!
We caught a tiny crab
Don’t worry if you can’t find fresh clams, you can also use frozen one’s in the supermarket. It’s as good as the fresh too.
When i was pregnant with my second child
We divide the clams, all three of us, my sister and my twin sister @shielaashraf. We were so happy and we had such a wonderful experience. We can’t believe it was plenty, I made clam soup and linguini pasta from my share.
Thank you Mother nature for the fresh abundance.
And a Beautiful sunset for everyone
