How to make it
- Get out your biggest soup pot and heat the oil in it. I happened to have the pesto olive oil so I used it but plain is fine.
- Drop the celery, onion and cloves into the oil and saute them until they are translucent. Keep tossing so they don't burn.
- Add in the carrot and bell pepper and get them softened up. They will add a little moisture to the mix as they cook. Keep it tossing.
- Time for the parsely, basil and asparagus. I love getting fresh herbs from Mom's garden. Basil, parsely and rosemary are easy to grow, beautiful & butterflies love them too. I had the pickled asparagus but canned will be fine. If you don't used pickled just toss in a couple of shakes of vinegar to give the soup a bit of acid.
- Pour in the Clamato, clam juice, white wine, baby clams, bacon and potatoe. Mix well and bring up to a good strong simmer.
- Add in tabasco, worstershire, white pepper and Old Bay seasoning. Reduce heat a bit and let it do a gentle simmer for about 30 minutes or until the potato is soft. Stir often and adjust spices to suit yourself.

Just finished a bowl. Delicious! High fives!
FYI, I halved the recipe and used two 6.5 oz cans of chopped clams and 1/2 can of canned asparagus. All the rest was cut in half exactly. Great flavors.rottman in Nottingham loved it
