Ingredients

  • 1 pint of broth
  • two tablespoonfuls of hot water
  • 12 large hard-shelled clams
  • pepper
  • salt

Directions

1

12 large hard-shelled clams for 1 pint of broth.

2

Boil the clams and juice for twenty minutes; strain and let it stand to settle; strain it again carefully into a saucepan, and let it boil up once; season with butter and pepper--no salt--and serve in cups with whipped cream on top.

3

To open the clams and obtain the juice, place the clams, after they have been carefully washed with a brush and clear water, in a saucepan; add two tablespoonfuls of hot water; cover and let them steam until the shells open; then strain off the liquor.
