Instructions
In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, stir oil, onion, and garlic until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
Add chili powder and stir just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add broth, cover, and bring to a boil.
Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
Add potatoes to boiling broth. Cover and return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced, about 10 minutes.
Add tomatoes with juice, chili, corn, peas, and clams with juice, stirring to mix. Turn heat to high, cover, and return to a boil.
Add lime juice, hot sauce, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste. Ladle soup into bowls.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are my top picks for Clams. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. The Rochioli Estate Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 42 dollars per bottle.

Rochioli Estate Chardonnay
This wine is a fine example of the unique characteristics from the Rochioli property and the Russian River Valley. Aromas of ripe apple, tropical fruit, hazelnut and a touch of spice combine with the rich apple flavors and crisp acidity.
