Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet until hot; add onions and cook slowly over low heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chilies, basil and marjoram, and continue cooking 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Add corn and stir. Add sugar and water, increase heat and bring liquid to a simmer. Add oyster juice, remove herbs and cool.

  2. Step 2

    Pour corn mixture into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, adding more water if too thick. Pass the soup though a fine mesh strainer into a pot over low heat and keep warm.

  3. Step 3

    In a saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; set aside. In another saute pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add oysters and cook until barely warm, about 3 minutes. Pour any remaining oyster juice into the soup pot.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the soup into 8 warm bowls, arrange oysters and mushrooms in the center of each and garnish with chives.
