Oyster Soup (Take two quarts of oysters)

Take two quarts of oysters, wash them, and add, 2 quarts water. A bundle of herbs. 1 small onion sliced.

Let it boil until all the substance is out of the oysters Strain the liquor from the ingredients and put it back in the pot. Add a large spoonful butter mixed with flour. Have ready two dozen oysters to throw in just as it is ready to be dished--at the same time stir up two yolks of eggs with a cup of cream. Cayenne pepper is an improvement.--Mrs. E. W.
