INSTRUCTIONS
In a heavy saucepan melt butter. Add garlic, onion and water; cover and "sweat" over medium heat until soft. Stir in flour, mix well and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add stock and water (or homemade stock) and cayenne pepper, stirring until mixture has thickened. Drain artichoke hearts and blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water. Refresh in cold water and drain. Remove leaves from bottoms. Chop bottoms in medium-size pieces and set aside; add leaves to stock. Chop half of the oysters and add to stock. Slice remaining oysters in large pieces and set aside. Cook soup about 2 minutes, remove from heat, and puree in blender or food processor. Return to heat. Add reserved oysters and artichoke pieces, marjoram, and parsley. Heat oysters about 2 minutes or just until done. Taste to correct seasoning. (Is using canned broth, the soup should need no salt.) Versailles Restaurant, New Orleans. Source: Gulf Coast Cooking.
