Directions

1

Prepare foundation, omitting onion and celery, and using two tablespoonfuls flour. Put one quart oysters in a large bowl and pour over them one cup water; take out each oyster with the fingers to make sure no shell adheres to it and drain in th« colander. Strain the oyster liquor through the finest strainer, put it on to boil and skim well; add the oysters and simmer till they grow plump and begin to curl on the edges. Add oysters to foundation with as much of the broth as will make it of the right consistency. Add more salt and pepper if needed and all the butter it will bear without floating on the top, Crackers browned in the oven are good with this soup.
