Ingredients:

Serving

6 slices thick-cut bacon , cut into lardons (or 2 tsp. canola oil)
2 leeks, white and pale green part, well washed , halved horizontally , and thinly sliced into half-moons
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
4 cups clam juice
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 (8 oz) containers oysters, drained , juices reserved
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
2 tbsp dry sherry
coarse salt
freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

In a saucepan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes.
Add in the leeks; saute, stirring often, until they begin to soften, 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle over the flour and stir to combine.
Whisk in the clam juice, milk, cream, and reserved oyster juice.
Add the potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat.
Decrease heat to low; add in thyme and bay leaf; cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Add in the oysters and simmer, uncovered, until they are heated through and their edges begin to curl, about 3 minutes.
Remove the thyme and bay leaf and discard.
Add in the sherry and stir to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper; serve immediately.
