Servings: persons

18 pound butter not margarine
1 cup onions chop
1/2 cup celery chop
1/4 cup sweet red bell peppers chop
10 slices bacon cook, crumble
1/4 cup bacon drippings
36 each oysters fresh, chopped
6 small artichokes cook, scrape chop bottoms
2 cups oyster liqueur
1 cup artichoke hearts stock
2 teaspoons basil
2 pints heavy whipping cream
1 x salt and black pepper
1 x cayenne pepper
1 x parsley leaves chop, for garnish

1
Melt the butter in a 5-qt Dutch oven and saute the onions, celery and bell pepper until they soften.
2
Toss in the bacon, the drippings and the chopped oysters and simmer gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until the oysters curl and a rich gray-colored base forms.
3
Drop in the artichoke pulp and bottoms and blend them well into the mixture.
4
Stir in the oyster liquor and the artichoke cooking stock.
5
Bring it to a boil, but be sure to keep stirring or the oyster liquor will scorch and stick to the bottom of the pot.
6
Boil for about 4 minutes.
7
Stir in the basil, reduce the heat to simmer and let the bisque cook slowly for another 5 minutes.
8
Stir in the cream, a half-pint at a time, and turn the fire back up to high!
9
When the mixture comes back to a boil, reduce the heat again so that the bisque just barely bubbles and add the salt and pepper.
10
Taste before adding the salt as the oysters contain a lot of salt.
11
After 10 minutes, remove from the heat and allow it to set up for 15 minutes so that the flavors blend.
12
Serve, garnished with parsley.
