Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 35 mins


• heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. add potato, onion, and garlic to the hot oil, reduce heat to medium-low, and bring the mixture to a simmer. place a lid on the saucepan and cook the mixture at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the onion and potato soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
• season the potato mixture with salt and black pepper.
• stir flour into the mixture to make a roux. increase heat to medium and stir the mixture constantly to cook the flour, 3 to 4 minutes.
• pour reserved oyster liquid into the potato mixture. increase heat to medium-high.
• slowly stream skim milk into the saucepan while stirring continually; cook and stir until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, 5 to 7 minutes. season again with salt and black pepper as needed.
• reduce heat to medium-low. add oysters to the saucepan; continue to cook and stir until the mixture is thick and the oysters are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• turn off the heat and continue to stir until you are sure soup will not boil after covered. cover and let stand 10 minutes for the flavors to blend.
