Jay’s note

The clams have natural salt in themselves, so it may not necessary add any sea salt, check the saltness of broth first. Also, If the broth is very hot, green color will change to brown easily , so cool the broth down to about room temperature. Instead parsley, enjoy to use any your favorite spring herbs!
