Fresh clam, meat and tofu soup

Overview

I learned a seafood tofu soup from the Internet and put it into practice. The so-called tofu can be heated in the pot for a long time, but seafood is different. Some seafood become tougher as it is cooked. If we want to combine seafood and tofu, the cooking time will be different. There is half a pack of frozen clams in the refrigerator, and they are quite small, so they are quite suitable for making soup.
