  1. Make the soup: Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Sauté the shallot, onion, and celery until soft -- about 5 minutes. Stir in half-and-half, milk, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Heat to just under a boil. Add oysters and their liquor. Simmer just until the oysters begin to curl on the edges -- about 5 minutes. Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with chives, if desired.
