Ingredients:  
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 boiling potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 celery stalk, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cups shucked oysters with their liquor

Directions:
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the potato, carrot, celery, and onion and saute until the onion is translucent, 2-3 minutes.

Pour the oyster liquor through a fine-mesh sieve into the pan. Add the milk, cream, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, 7-10 minutes.

Add the oysters and cook just until they turn tan and their edges curl, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with hot-pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Ladle into warmed shallow soup plates and garnish with the chives.
