2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces hot Italian sausage, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 6-ounce can (3/4 cup) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

In a heavy skillet brown the kielbasa in batches over moderate heat, transferring it as it is browned to paper towels to drain.

Discard any unopened clams and return the opened ones to the tomato mixture. Stir in the kielbasa, the parsley, and salt to taste and heat the soup until it is hot.

  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many ingredients at once, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the soup is flavorful.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
