Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Chop clams, reserving juice; set clams aside. Strain clam juice to remove bits of shell. Measure juice; add enough water to equal 1 1/2 cups liquid.

Step 2

Stir in undrained tomatoes and chopped clams and heat through.

Step 3

Combine clam juice mixture, clam-tomato juice cocktail, potatoes, bell peppers, scallions, and black pepper in a large saucepan; heat to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are just tender.
