1 - 1 1/2 lb. fresh clams or canned equivalent
2 (28 oz.) cans whole tomatoes
1 tsp. basil
1 tbsp. parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp. butter
1 carrot, thinly sliced

Follow directions for clam chowder (milk). Slow simmer until carrots are doe. May add 1 to 2 cups shredded cabbage. Clams are very flavorable and this makes a superb blend. Can also use 4 to 6 slices bacon.
