How To Make oyster rockefeller soup
-
1Place the oysters in a large saucepan and cover with 2 quarts cold water. Cook over medium heat just until the oysters begin to curl, about 5 minutes. Strain the oysters, reserving the stock. Set oysters aside. Chop spinach, celery, artichokes and shallots.
-
2Melt the butter in a large pot and sauté the celery and shallots until tender. Stir in the flour, then add the oyster stock. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened. Add the Pernod,(if you do not have pernod or herbsaint, you could use a few dashes of bitters or at the very least some brandy) spinach, parsley and artichokes ; season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream and simmer several minutes until the soup is hot, then serve. You could sprinkle parsley or salty croutons on top.
