OYSTER SOUP.

Ingredients:6 dozen of oysters
2 quarts of white stock
1/2 pint of cream
2 oz. of butter
1-1/2 oz. of flour; salt
cayenne
and mace to taste.
Method:Scald the oysters in their own liquor; take them out, beard them, and put them in a tureen. Take a pint of the stock, put in the beards and the liquor, which must be carefully strained, and simmer for 1/2 an hour. Take it off the fire, strain it again, and add the remainder of the stock with the seasoning and mace. Bring it to a boil, add the thickening of butter and flour, simmer for 5 minutes, stir in the boiling cream, pour it over the oysters, and serve.
Time: 1 hour.
Notes: This soup can be made less rich by using milk instead of cream, II. 197.
