Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock.
If you can't find fingerling potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes make a good substitute.
Be careful not to overcook the clams, as they can become tough.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce according to your preference for spiciness.
Serve with crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful broth.
