Pat's oyster bisque

4 -8

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup BUTTER
½ cup Sliced celery
¼ Chopped onion
2 Cloves garlic; minced
2 cups Oysters; drained (high-quality canned will do)
2 cups Whole milk
½ cup Heavy cream
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
Freshly-snipped parsley; or a little dried (crushed in fingers)
½ cup Dry sherry

Directions

In a large saucepan, saute the celery, onion, and garlic in the butter, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the drained oysters, the milk, the cream, the salt and pepper - heat just until small bubbles appear around the ediges (DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL, OR IT WILL SEPARATE). Stir in a bit of parsley (really just for color - don't add too much!) and sherry. Serve immediately.
