This clam recipe hails from the Isle of Capri, Napoli, Campagnia. It was brought to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle by the Italian immigrants who settled throughout this region during the 1920s, thus when we lived for several years over in San Francisco where this dish was also popular as well as when we travelled over to Portland and Seatlle, we used to enjoy  sharing this dish years ago tremendously. 
 
We would call it, Brodo al Vongole.  
 
This is a classic broth with clams as seen above in Photo number 2 ...
