Splendid Soups-Oyster Chowder - piano226 - 10-25-2006 Made this last night...We both LOVED IT. Since my b/f had a heart attack I try to make stuff with lower fat...soo instead of whipping cream i used fat free half and half and also lowfat milk. The flavor was GREAT and I am sure if you really follow the recipe it will even be better. I will FOR SURE make this again and again and again. Re: Splendid Soups-Oyster Chowder - farnfam - 10-25-2006 Oh Marina, we just loves oysters. If you have a minute please post the recipe. Or if someone else has the book and a minute please Did it have any side suggestions?

Cook 3-4 min coverd until the veg are translucent and soft. Add carrots, cream and milk . Simmer 3-4 min or until slightly thickened , season with salt Stir in oysters and their liquor , reduce heat to med-low and simmer 5 min Brush bread with oil and broil on both sides until golden. Place a slice in the bottom of each serving bowl, then pour the soup over. Garnish with parsly and pepper Serve immediately I have to say...that i cooked my soup longer...since i dont think i sliced carrots thin enough for them to be done in 5 min. And i hate crunchy veggies in my soup. THe side dish that comes with is is Hot spinach Salad. I did not do it. Re: Splendid Soups-Oyster Chowder - farnfam - 10-25-2006 Thank you so very much. Looks yummy too. I love the idea of the bread in the bowl. Thanks again Cis
