Westcoast Style Clam Chowder
"A clam chowder soup to be enjoyed. Uncle Bill's Tips: Fresh baby clams can be used instead of canned clams. In order to do this you will need 4 pounds of baby clams in the shell. First, steam clams in 2 1/2 cups water until they open. (Discard any clams that don't open.) Save the liquid and pour through a very fine sieve to remove any particles. Extract clams from the shell and add to soup; as directed in the recipe. You can also use the left over liquid in place of clam juice."
