Yield Makes about 7 1/2 cups, serving 6 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ears of fresh or frozen corn
3 cups water
1 bay leaf
18 oysters, shucked, reserving the liquor
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco, or to taste
whole or minced fresh parsley leaves for garnish
paprika for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the corn kernels from the cobs on a work surface, transfer them to a large saucepan, and with the back of a knife scrape the milk from the cobs into the pan. Cut each cob into 3 pieces and add them to the pan. Add the water and the bay leaf and simmer the mixture, covered, for 30 minutes. Discard the cobs and the bay leaf, in a blender purée the corn mixture in batches, and strain the purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids. Transfer the purée to the pan and pour the reserved oyster liquor through a fine sieve into the pan. Add the milk, the Tabasco, and salt to taste and heat the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, being careful not to let it boil, until it is hot. Add the oysters and heat the soup, stirring, being careful not to let it boil, for 3 minutes, or until the edges of the oysters curl. Ladle the soup into heated shallow bowls and garnish each serving with some of the parsley and the paprika.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bisque was too thin. I had to add more cornstarch to thicken it up.

This bisque was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a fan of oysters, but I loved this bisque! The corn and cream masked the briny flavor of the oysters, and the resulting soup was creamy and delicious.

I would have liked more corn in the bisque. I think I would add an extra cup next time.

This bisque was a little too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less cream next time.

This bisque was easy to make and turned out great! I used canned corn and oysters, and it still had a lot of flavor. I added a little extra salt and pepper to taste, and it was perfect.

I used fresh corn and oysters from the farmer's market, and the flavor was amazing! The bisque was so creamy and flavorful, and the oysters were plump and juicy. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter n

This corn and oyster bisque was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and creamy, and the oysters added a briny, seafood flavor that was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the corn. I will definitely be making this again!
