Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Clams: In a pot, boil the clams in their own liquor until fully cooked. Once done, remove the clams, chop finely, and return them to the pot with the clam juice.

    🦪 Tip: Fresh clams will provide a wonderful depth of flavor, but if you’re short on time, high-quality canned clams can work too!

  2. Add Ingredients: Stir in the soup stock, uncooked rice, parsley, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. Strain the Soup: Using a fine strainer, carefully strain the soup, pressing as much of the rice and clams through the mesh as possible. This will create a silky-smooth texture.

    🎉 Pro Tip: If you prefer a chunkier bisque, save some whole clams and add them back to the soup after straining!

  4. Final Touch: Strain the soup again for a super smooth finish. Reheat gently, then whisk in the cream and seasoning, adjusting with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with a sprig of parsley. Enjoy it hot with toasted bread!
