Notes
➔ Use fresh oysters for the very best ocean flavor.
➔ Do not let the milk come to a boil.
➔ Watch for the oyster edges to curl up slightly.
➔ Stir the pot often to prevent burning the milk.
➔ Add the salt at the very end of cooking.
➔ Use heavy cream for a much thicker soup base.
➔ Serve the stew in pre-heated bowls to stay warm.
