Clam soup is a savory dish rooted in coastal cuisines, often enjoyed in regions like New England, Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean. Typically made with fresh clams, the broth showcases their briny, oceanic flavor, and is often enhanced with ingredients such as onions, garlic, celery, herbs, and sometimes potatoes or cream. It’s rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like iron and selenium, making it a nutritious choice that supports heart and immune health. Variations without cream are lower in calories and saturated fat, while cream-based versions are more indulgent. Sodium content can be significant, especially in processed versions, so opting for fresh, homemade recipes can be a healthier alternative. Whether light and brothy or hearty and creamy, clam soup provides a satisfying and flavorful meal that reflects its coastal origins.
