    This one just didn't get over the hill of acceptability with me. I do suggest others at least try it as I suspect that the oysters I purchased were rather, well... "full of it" so to speak. Be sure to look for "clean" oysters. I believe this will make a world of difference.

    For years and years we have always had oyster stew for Christmas Eve dinner made with simply milk, butter, oysters, salt and pepper. I tried this recipe out as soon as I saw it last year and convinced my family to let me be in charge of the oyster stew. After tasting it they all agreed it should replace the old recipe.
    Also, glad to see others have tried artichokes and sherry. Both were ideas I had in mind after trying it.
    Also, surprised to see someone say this soup is too thin. It's very rich and creamy if made with real cream or real half and half. DO NOT USE THE FAKE HALF AND HALF! Tried that once and it broke down into a completely inedible liquid. Going out right now to get ingredients for this year's dinner!

    Very good stuff, and a little goes a long way since it's so rich.

    This was the first time I had tried cooking for my girlfriends family. It was the biggest hit at dinner. Her father is lactose intolerant, but he had two bowls anyway. However he never had any stomach problems so for him it was a double success. Thank Alton.

    I found this to be a good soup for a side dish. It was not hearty enough to be the main dish. While very tasty, it is thin. I will make it again as one course of a seafood dinner.

    This is a great recipe in itself, and I have adapted it by adding artichoke hearts to make a wonderful oyster & artichoke soup as well. I have found that I prefer some substance to my soup so I usually only puree half of the oysters (and most of the artichokes when I use them and leave the smaller ones whole. I highly reccommend this one!

    Made this as per the instructions and found it not only rich and tasty but I found it was very easy to prepare and quite elegant.

    I did find however, that adding a bit of good, dry sherry did not hurt it. Most cream soups taste much better with that addition, so, I tried it!

    This will be on the menu of my next dinner party, count on it!

    My son went grocery shopping with me to buy the ingredients for this soup. He asked why I was buying oysters and I told him I was going to make the Good Eats oyster soup. He said, "you can't do that, Mom, you're not Elton!"
    to which I replied, "Oh yes I can.", and did, and it was delish!
