Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons/ 30ml olive oil
6 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cups/ 500ml 35-percent cream
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 dozen oysters, shucked, liquid reserved
2 tablespoons/ 30ml butter
1 handful fresh chives, minced
3 large slices bacon, cut into small dice
2 celery ribs, cut into small dice
1 onion, cut into small dice
1 large yukon gold potato, cooked until al dente and cut into small dice
olive oil, for drizzling
1 handful fresh chervil

Steps:

  • For the soup:.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over high heat and saute the potatoes, celery and onions. Add 6 cups water (1 1/2 liters) and the cream and season with salt and pepper. Add the reserved oyster juices and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are nice and tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in a regular blender until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Pass through a fine sieve if necessary.
  • Stir in the butter and chives. Add the oysters just before serving to prevent them from overcooking. Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
  • For the bacon and vegetable garnish:.
  • Brown the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add the celery and onions and saute until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the potato and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and add the bacon and vegetable garnish. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with chervil.
