Lala Clam Soup


6pax


Lala Clam Soup is a savoury seafood soup with a rich broth that is made from a mix of clams, garlic and ginger. With a natural flavour from the fresh clams used, the ingredients are kept minimal but is seasoned with red chilli and AJI-SHIO® Flavoured Pepper to give it an appetising flavour. There are many variations of clam soup but this clam soup recipe gives a creamy texture. Some versions use water as the base for the soup, while others use milk or cream. The soup can be served in a bowl as an appetiser or main dish.
