Fresh Oyster Stew

Directions

1. Drain the oysters, reserving the liquid.
2. Cook the onions and celery in the bacon drippings over medium heat. Once tender, mix in the mushrooms, soup, oyster liquor, cream and a dash of salt and pepper. Continue heating, stirring frequently, until heated through.
3. Mix in the bacon and oysters and heat for an additional 5 minutes, or until the oysters begin to curl. Sprinkle with the parsley when ready to serve.
