Clams tend to be an American taste; in England, cockles, or palourdes, in France, can be substituted.

Chris Styler had a dish called quarter-hour soup about twenty years ago in Rhode Island. He has never seen a recipe for it since. Based on his description, I came up with this. It is quick, easy, and fresh-tasting.
