Last minute decision for clams and it was great. Used green onions. Fresh basil really set it off. 3 seed Sourdough mini-baguettes were a real treat dipped in broth. Really cheap chardonnay was fine for the broth. Very flavorful.

I bought a package of cooked frozen clam meat, but it did not tasted good. I tried this recipe, and it worked just great!
