Servings: persons

2 strips thick cut bacon (I used applewood smoked)
1/2 large sweet onion - diced
1 stalk celery - diced
1 large clove garlic - minced
2 tablespoons butter
4 medium red potatoes - cubed
1 pint oyster liquor
1 cup chicken broth
1 pint heavy cream
1 quart shucked oysters
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
fresh ground pepper

1
Cut the bacon into pieces and saute in a large heavy pot until they begin to get brown and crispy.
2
Add the butter and onion and cook another 2-3 minutes until they start to go clear - you don't want them to brown really. Then add the celery and garlic and cook for a couple more minutes.
3
Add the oyster liquor, the chicken broth and the cream, then add the potatoes and a couple of grinds of garlic. Simmer until the potatoes are tender.
4
Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the oysters and the herbs. You may need to turn the heat up a bit, you want it just simmering until the oysters are cooked, not too long maybe 6-7 minutes after it gets back to a simmer. Taste it and maybe add a couple more grinds of pepper.
5
Serve to your mother in law (or guests) right away!
