This is a simple Pinoy Clam and Corn soup, not chowder and it doesnt have cream. Which is terrific if you’re like me whose trying to lose weight.

Truth be told, I only did this recipe because I’m trying to avoid very rich food lately and Im looking for simple and delicious foods to share.

This is the kind of soup that is almost like the American Chicken Soup, it’s healing and makes you feel good.
