Directions
Place clams in large soup pot, cover with water, and steam until they open. Strain clam liquid(cooking water).
Remove clams from their shells and mince fine. Reserve liquid and clams in refrigerator. Saute pork and onions in butter until onions are clear. Add tomatoes and
simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add celery, carrots, parsley, basil, thyme, bay leaf, garlic and soy sauce. Stir in correct amount of broth (clam cooking
water plus additional water, if needed); simmer, covered, 1 hour. Add potatoes and simmer 15 minutes. Add clams and simmer another 8 minutes. Adjust seasonings if
necessary. Portion into large bowls, sprinkling a small dash of fresh parsley atop each one. Serve with sliced butter and soup crackers. Yields 6 servings.
