This is quick, easy and healthier than the creamed. You may omit the bacon, but it adds a great flavor. This soup would also make a light first course. You may substitute steamed fresh clams for the canned and the flavor will be even better, but this is excellent as is. Read more Enjoy... See less

How to make it
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the bacon and sauté until browned, about 2 minutes.
- Add the onions, garlic, celery, carrots, peppers and garlic; sauté about 2 minutes.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients except the clams. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add the clams and heat about 5 minutes. Serve immediately or keep on very low heat. This is also good reheated.
- Rember bottled clam juice is very good, but salty. Go easy on the salt in the soup and taste at the end for salt and all seasonings.
