Oyster Soup Recipe

Put about fifty oysters in a colander and drain. Pour over them a

pitcher of cold water, and then put them into a hot kettle. Let stand

covered for a few minutes. Add one pint of water. Rub together a

tablespoonful of butter and one of flour; add a little of the soup to

make a smooth paste. Put this with a quart of milk into the soup kettle

with oysters, and stir till it begins to thicken. Add a teaspoonful of

salt, and pepper to taste.
