From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
According to the 1881 Household Cyclopedia, Clam soup can be made in the following way.
Wash the shells and put them in a kettle. Put the kettle where it will be hot enough to cause a steam from the clams, which will open them. To 1 quart of clams put 2 quarts of water, and then proceed as for oyster soup.
