  "1 cup (240 g) low-sodium chicken broth",
  "½ cup (120 g) liquid drained from the canned clams (if the cans give less, make up the difference with water)",

Cook 15 to 20 minutes, until a fork slides into a cube with no push. Water boils at about 203 °F a mile up, so the potatoes take longer than the sea-level time; go by the fork."
