Directions

To Make the Sauce:

  1. Cook onion in oil over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, carrot, fennel, leek and celery, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add bacon and clams, and cook. Drain fat.
  4. Add the wine and simmer uncovered until evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  5. Add clam juice and simmer uncovered until evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  6. Taste soup and re-season if needed. The soup is ready at this point and can be cooled down for use later or served warm as is.
