Canned Oyster Soup

This simple oyster soup recipe calls for canned oysters, which are always in season, and can be put together in a flash. For canned oysters, I recommend Crown Prince Whole Boiled Oysters. Here in northern Wisconsin, fresh raw oysters can be difficult to find, but if you have access to fresh oysters use them. If you want to turn this soup into chowder; first, dice a large potato and cook it in the water mixture before adding the oysters, cream and crackers.
