This is a rich , lovely cream bisque that is delicately flavored with sautéed vegetables and the oysters own liquor. Not that the bisque is Briefly cooked at the end to preserve the integrity of the oysters. Whipped cream and Cayenne pepper for garnish * my sister uses the new White Worcestershire sauce instead of the Tabasco and a shake of New Orleans seasoning from Paul Pruhomme.( variation) In a cast iron skillet melt the butter and sauté the onion, celery and carrot 5 to ten minutes. Drain oysters, reserving the liquor, chop 3 or 4 oysters and set the remaining oysters aside . Add the chopped oysters to the skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes. In a pot, bring the stock to a boil.
