    We've already made and eaten this several times now. It is the best way ever to do oyster soup!! I add a few extra rockefeller ingredients to mine --- horseradish, anchovies, etc. --- and leave off the fried oysters on top. Instead, I grate a little fresh parmesan on top of each bowl and dot with worchestershire and habernero sauces. Excellent taste and attractive presentation!!!
