Its history dates back to the times of the first European settlers who valued oysters for their delicate taste and nutrition. This soup has a velvety texture due to high-fat cream and a light spiciness from lemon juice and freshly ground pepper. Oysters add a marine accent, creating an exquisite balance between richness and freshness. Traditionally served with rye bread, whose dense aroma perfectly complements the creamy base of the soup. The dish is ideal for a cozy dinner on a cool day or as an exquisite appetizer at a formal dinner. Enjoy its refined flavor while diving into the gastronomic heritage of the American coast.
