Artichoke And Poached Oyster Soup
6 Tbsp butter, melted.
½ cup shallots (chopped fine)
¼ tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
½ tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp flour
14 oz chicken broth (more or less won't hurt)
4 cups oysters Drained; reserve liquid. Or use less, to taste.
14 oz cooked artichoke hearts
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp tabasco sauce
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 Tbsp parsley (chopped fresh)
In a 3-quart casserole, melt butter and sauté shallots. When shallots are translucent, add thyme, bay leaf, and cayenne pepper. Add flour and whisk well. Add broth, oyster water, artichoke hearts, salt, and tabasco. Bring to a boil. Add oysters and parsley. Simmer on medium, partly covered, for exactly 5 minutes. Add whipped cream and serve immediately. Serves 6.
If soup isn't hot enough to make a grown man wince, it's undrinkable. ~Grey Livingston
Most common sports drinks are the equivalent of sugar-sweetened human sweat. That is, they have the same salt concentration as sweat (but are less salty than your blood). An increase of as little as 1% in blood salt will cause you to become thirsty.
