4 dozen sm. oysters
Olive oil
4 c. oyster water
1 1/2 c. chopped onion
2 bunches green onion
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
4 c. hot water
Dash of pepper

Cut 1 dozen oysters in half. Strain oyster water through fine strainer. In large fry pan, heat just enough olive oil to saute yellow onions, then add green onions. When onions are soft, add parsley. Add oysters in fry pan, then some oyster water (enough to cover oysters). Let cook for 10 minutes or until heated.

Pour mixture into pot and add rest of oyster water. When this is heated, add hot water. Add pepper. Bring to boil, lower the heat and cook for about 1 hour uncovered.

NOTE: Measure oyster water before you start so you can know how much hot water you will need. If soup is too salty because of oysters being salty, add more hot water. Enjoy. Serves 10.
