Description

This sophisticated soup is a perfect dinner party starter. No one will realise it’s actually quite simple to make.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Fry the onion over a low heat, covered, for 5-7 minutes until it softens, but is not brown.

Step 2 of 4

Add the potatoes, smoked oysters, fish stock, and cream, and season with a little salt and pepper. Bring the soup to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, partially cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.

Step 3 of 4

Purée the soup until smooth (if you are using a blender, you may have to do this in batches; it is important not to fill the blender more than one-third full with hot liquid). Now pass it through a sieve so that it is completely smooth.

Step 4 of 4

Return the soup to the pan and heat it gently. Add the sherry (if using) and serve with a swirl of cream in the centre of the bowls and a sprinkling of pepper.
