Whip up this Oyster Soup on a moment's notice.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups chopped yellow onion
- 4 cups warm whole milk (110° to 120°)
- 48 freshly shucked oysters, liquid reserved*
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Garnish: chopped green onion and celery leaves
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until a light brown roux forms, about 3 minutes. Add onion, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine milk and reserved oyster liquor. Reduce heat to medium. Gradually add milk mixture to onion mixture, stirring constantly. Mixture will thicken slightly. Bring mixture to a low boil. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer 2 minutes.
- Add oysters, parsley, butter, salt, and pepper. Simmer mixture until oyster edges begin to curl, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Garnish with green onion and celery leaves, if desired. Serve warm with oyster crackers or French bread, if desired.
Notes
- * 4 (8-ounce) cans oysters, liquid drained and reserved may be substituted for the freshly shucked oysters

Make it gluten free by using corn starch instead of flour.
You never said what to do with the reserve oyster fluent?otherwise I made everything to the perfection I’m just waiting for it to boil for 3 minutes and then I will add my oysters
The oyster liquor is added with the milk in step 2.
