Ah, as a true Irish woman I didn’t want to keep an oyster soup recipe from you.
I also add mussels, but you can leave them out and add an entire crate of oysters, if you wish. Eat the soup on St Patrick’s Day, but actually any other day will do too.
In a heavy-based pan, braise the shallots in the butter and add the garlic when the shallots have turned a golden brown. Leave to sauté for a minute and add the flour. Continue to stir until the flour has absorbed all of the butter. Slowly add the beer and stir until the mixture thickens. Fold in the mustard, followed by the stock and cream. Add the potatoes and carrot, bring the soup to a boil
