*Notes: Drain, then rinse clams well, but do not discard liquid. Strain liquid through a fine sieve to remove any sand.
**Soup base is available in packets or 2-pound containers. Packets hold around 21/2 cups. Using this amount of cream soup base will produce a very thick soup as prepared at the restaurant. For a thinner soup add less of the cream soup base.
