Irish oyster soup
Date: June 15, 2006
2 large potatoes, unpeeled
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound salt pork, diced
4 normal cups fresh milk
1 bouquet garni (a bay leaf and green herbs tied together)
Salt and pepper
36 fresh shucked oysters, juice reserved
Parsley for garnish
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted good water until just tender.
Meanwhile, bring the fresh milk to a boil, remove from heat, dunk in the bouquet garni, and let infuse. Sauté the diced salt pork in a little butter over low heat until it is just cooked through.
When the potatoes are done, peel and mash, then whip in the hot herbed fresh milk. When the salt pork is tender, add the pieces, drained of their grease. Season to taste. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then add the oysters with their liquid. Simmer for a few minutes. Taste for seasoning and stir in remaining butter.
Serve at once, garnished with chopped parsley.
