Ingredients

Directions

  1. Reserve four artichoke hearts for garnish, cutting them into halves or quarters, and set them aside.
  2. Place the remaining artichoke hearts along with their liquid into a blender and purée until completely smooth.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  4. Whisk in the flour to form a roux, cooking for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly, ensuring it does not brown.
  5. Slowly stir in the artichoke purée, any reserved oyster liquid, and the milk, whisking until smooth.
  6. Add the chopped green onions, minced garlic, chopped parsley, a generous pinch of thyme, salt, and pepper.
  7. Simmer the mixture gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the soup thickens.
  8. Gently fold in the oysters and heat just until they plump and curl at the edges, being careful not to overcook them.
  9. Ladle the hot soup into deep bowls and garnish with the reserved artichoke pieces.
