RECIPE
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup (about 5 strips) bacon, rind removed and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 small onion, diced into ½-inch cubes
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 15-ounce cans of clam juice (or 30 ounces of kelp broth; see recipe on page 20)
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 pinch red chili flakes
⅓ cup celery, diced into ½-inch cubes
⅓ cup fennel, diced into ½-inch cubes
⅓ cup carrots, diced into ½-inch cubes
⅓ cup green bell pepper, diced into ½-inch cubes
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 large waxy potato, diced into ½-inch cubes
24 slipper limpets, washed, steamed, and shells discarded
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Render bacon in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium to low heat until golden brown. Add onions and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add clam juice, bay leaf, thyme, and chili flakes. Raise heat to medium. Bring soup to a simmer and add celery, fennel, carrots, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Return to a simmer and add potatoes. Cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add the steamed limpets and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Season to taste. Remove bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Pour into soup bowls and garnish with parsley.
