Ingredients
- 16 oysters (fresh)
- 7 smoked oysters
- 3 pot over high heat until browned (lightly)
- 1 onion
- 1 leek
- 1 potato (red)
- 1 pepper (freshly ground white)
- 1/2 dice well in water (rinsed cold)
- 950 ml milk
- 240 ml whipping cream
- 120 ml bottled clam juice
- 120 gr packed young spinach leaves
- 1 gr salt
- 6 slices bacon (sliced)
Add the potato, cream, milk and clam juice and bring to boil. Simmer, uncovered, until potato is just short of cooked, about 8 minutes. The soup can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated overnight. Gently reheat if chilled. Add the spinach and fresh and smoked oysters and cook just until fresh oysters are cooked, about 1 minute. Add additional clam juice if needed for consistency. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
