This recipe is a much thicker version and is chowder like, as you mentioned. The thinner version is typically an old-school type recipe, and some restaurants in New Orleans still serve the thinner broth-like with dairy version too. In some cases the dairy is either just milk, 1/2 & 1/2 or a tiny bit of heavy cream. I like the thicker one myself!

I love this version of oyster stew… more creamy and chowder like. This is what I was expecting when I ordered oyster stew here in NC one time, and what they served was oysters in a clear, fairly bland broth. What a disappointment that was!

Oh I love them raw too, in fact we found a place near our home that has them on the 1/2 shell for only $8.95 a dozen shucked.

great tasting soup, It seems like I’ve been bitten by the “Soup Bug” and lately all I want to do is make soup and eat soup lol

I love this style of soup. You never see it in Los Angeles, so I will have to make it. I forgot how much I loved it. Thanks for the recipe. GREG
