Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, chopped fine
- 3 - 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/4 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- 6 cups whole milk or half and half

- Add the oyster liquid (not whole oysters yet) and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Turn heat to low and let the mixture just come to a low simmer.
- Add the oysters, cover and cook until they curl on the edges. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with oyster crackers.
Note: If you want a thicker soup, add a tablespoon of flour after the onions are soft and cook about 1 minute. Then proceed with recipe.
