Oyster Soup. 1 quart oysters. }^ cup butter. 1 quart milk. I3 cup flour. Salt and pepper to taste. Clean oysters by placing them in colander and pour- ing over them one cup cold water. Carefully pick over the oysters and reserve the liquor, which you heat to the boiling-point and strain through a French sieve. To this liquor you add the oysters (which you can slightly chop, if you like), and bring them to the boiling-point, which will plump the oysters. To this you add the butter and flour cooked together. Lastly add the quart of milk that has been brought to the scald in the double boiler. Season to taste. A slice of onion can be put in the milk while heating, if desired, also a blade of mace. But, if you like the oysters for their flavor, all this is better left out. Oyster Stew. 1 quart scalded milk. 1 quart oysters. Salt and pepper to taste. y^ cup butter. SOUPS. 47 Clean and prepare oysters same as for oyster soup, reserving the liquor, which you heat to the boiling- point.
