"I try Giada's recipes all the time, but this is only my second review. I just had to write a review for this dish because it is by far the best clam dish I've ever made! The butter, wine, shallots and garlic give such depth to the clams, and the sauce is simple, yet rich and fantastic! It is great to serve with bread to soak up the sauce. I use""

"This soup is absolutely delicious without changing a thing. Probably one of my favorite Giada recipes yet! The parmesean rind is the key. You taste it in every bite and it gives the soup a really hearty taste and texture. The only thing I did differently was that I added an extra can of beans since most of the first can becomes a puree/paste. My husband and I are now big fans of swiss chard in soup, too! It's texture holds up much better than spinach, and I will be trying it in other soups after making this.
