Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces canned clams, drained
- Cooked pasta of your choice
Instructions:
-
Heat oil: In a large soup pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
-
Saute aromatics: Lower the heat to medium-low and add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent and soft.
-
Season: Stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, chicken broth, vegetable broth, thawed and drained frozen spinach, and diced tomatoes. Let the soup simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For a deeper flavor, you can simmer the soup for up to 1 hour.
-
Add clams and pasta: Once the soup is heated through and the flavors are well combined, add the drained canned clams and cooked pasta of your choice. Heat for an additional 3 minutes until the clams are heated through.
-
Serve: Ladle the hot Tomato & Clam Soup into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Tips:
- For a richer broth, you can use seafood broth instead of chicken broth.
- Feel free to customize the soup by adding other vegetables like diced carrots or celery.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference. You can add more herbs or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
