Add basil, thyme, oregano, and dried crushed red pepper; sauté 1 minute. Stir in bottled clam juice and tomato sauce; bring to boil.

Steps:

• 1. You can use a high sided sautee pan or a pot either way. Melt butter in saucepan. Sautee chopped onions and celery in melted butter on low/med. heat until onions are done. Be careful not to burn onions. They should look fairly clear.
• 2. In small bowl blend all dry ingredients with a whisk (peppers, thyme, marjoram and baking mix).
• 3. If shrimp is frozen thaw in colander sitting inside large bowl in cold water. Warm water will make the mushy! They shouldn't take long to thaw.
• 4. Open cans of crab and clams and drain then place in a bowl together.
• 5. Once onions and celery are ready add milk and cream of potato soup. Cook on med. heat until piping hot. Stir occassionally so as not to burn milk.
• 6. Once mixture is hot dip a small amount out and add to dry mixture and blend with whisk. Then add blended mixture to soup and whisk until blended. You may notice some little bits of mixture but they will go away on their own.
• 7. Once blended into soup add crab, clams and shrimp. Once shrimp turns pink the soup is done. This will take only a moment or so. Remove from heat and dig in! ENJOY!
