Instructions
- Chop pancetta or bacon, then fry on medium high in a large saucepan or stock pot. Remove from heat when pancetta starts to sizzle or bacon is crisp. If using bacon, remove all but 1-2 Tablespoons of fat from the pan. If using pancetta, add 1 Tablespoon butter.
- Place the pan back on medium low heat and add the chopped onion and celery. Cook until tender.
- Add the tomatoes (canned or fresh), thyme and carrots. Cook until tomatoes start to break down and carrots are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and yellow pepper. If sauce looks very thick, you can add some wine now, but remember that you are adding clam juice later. Continue cooking until everything is tender.
- Add clams and their juice. Add (additional) wine if needed to achieve desired thickness. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Bring back to a simmer, then serve.
Notes
- Chopped pancetta is a lovely alternative to bacon
- You can use vermouth or broth in place of the white wine. Use the amount you need to thin the soup to your liking.
