2 1/2 dozen freshly-shucked oysters and their liquor
1 1/2 cups clam juice
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion or 1 medium leek, white and light green part only, thinly sliced
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 cups diced potatoes (small dice) -- I used Yukon Gold
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces baby spinach leaves, thick stems discarded
1 pinch Salt and pepper, to taste

1
Combine the oyster liquor, clam juice, and water. Set aside.
2
In a medium soup pot over medium heat, saute the onion or leek in the butter and olive oil until soft. Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds more.
3
Add the reserved broth and potatoes to the pot. Bring up to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
4
Add the cream, bring back up to a simmer, and stir in the spinach. Cook until the spinach just barely wilts, then add the oysters and any accumulated juices. Bring back up to a simmer again and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the oysters are just done. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
