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.
