Preparation Bring the broth to a boil and then add the semolina a little at a time to avoid lumps from forming and let it cook for 20 minutes stirring all the time. Peel the garlic cloves, crush them and sauté them in an earthen-ware pot in the oil. Remove them and add the chopped peeled tomatoes. Salt and pepper the soup and cook for a further ten minutes.

Wash the clams thoroughly under running tap water and add them to the sauce. Put the chopped parsley in and stir well. Keep the soup on the fire until the valves open. Add it all to the semolina and stir. Put it into the soup plates and serve.
