Ingredients: 16 fresh Oysters, and their liquid
7 oz Smoked Oysters, well rinsed in cold water, gently patted dry 6 slices Bacon, cut into thin strips
1 large Onion, dice into fine pieces 1 large Leek, white part only, sliced thin
1 large Red Potato, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes 1 cup Whipping cream 4 cup Milk
1/2 cup bottled Clam Juice 4 cups packed young Spinach Leaves 1/2 tsp Salt freshly ground White Pepper
Directions: Cook the bacon in a 3-quart pot over medium high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and leek and cook until softened,
about 4 minutes, stirring often. Add the potato, cream, milk and clam juice and bring to boil. Simmer, uncovered, until potato is just short of cooked, about 8
minutes. 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. Makes 8 cups.
