Oysters, Soup of, Economical

Cut half the meat from a scalded ox-heel into neat pieces about the size of a small oyster. Put them into a stewpan with three pints of good stock, thickened with a little flour and butter. Add a pinch of cayenne and a glassful of sherry, and boil gently for two hours, then put in a dozen and a half of bearded oysters and their liquid, simmer five minutes longer, and serve. Probable cost, 3s. Sufficient for five or six persons. (See also PRINCIPLES OF COOKERY--SOUP.)
