Something about eating a bowl of half-n-half and butter seasoned with oysters seems unnecessary. So I changed the around to my liking. Started with about 1/2 the butter to saute the onions and 2 stalks celery. Like others I added potatoes, but not precooked; I added to the onions and celery then added the oyster liquor and enough water to cover the potatoes and simmer until the potatoes were still firm but edible (by this time 1/2 the water evaporated, this also serves to draw more flavor out of the onions and celery. I then added 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and then about 1 quart of 2% milk and brought to a simmer. (You'll need to salt appropriately for the amount of potatoes added. Add the oysters and simmer till the edges just begin to curl and then get it off the heat. For best flavor you MUST let the soup sit 10-15 minutes to allow to oysters to take in the broth.

Believe me, this is amazing enough without the added fat of extra butter and half-n-half. Cheers!

This is the most delicious recipe for oyster stew I have found. My 92-year old father, who remembers this dsh from his childhood, absolutely loved it. I read the posted reviews and decided to use ALL of the suggested additions : The stew was delicious. I, too, used heavy whipping cream instead of half-and-half. I also added more oysters than called for in the recipe. Then, I added:

boiled potatoes
1 can Campbell's ready to serve clam chowder (couldn't find cream of oyster
chopped celery
crumbled bacon

I loved this recipe! I added boiled red potatoes, cut up in small chunks, and i also cheated a little by adding a can of Campbell's condensed oyster stew for added flavor :

We've always used chopped celery in oyster stew (saute with the onions. It makes all the difference! Some chopped parsley is also a great addition. This is great!

This recipe brought back so many memories. My mother just passed away and I remember when she would make this stew on a cold day and she use to add the little crackers. I just miss her so much but I just know she is smiley down from heaven
