I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out nothing like the picture. It was thin and watery, and the oysters were tough.

This soup was a disaster! The oysters were overcooked and the broth was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

This soup was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter broth.

This soup was easy to make and absolutely delicious. I used fresh oysters and they really made a difference in the flavor. I also added a bit of white wine to the broth, which gave it a nice depth of flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out delicious! The oysters were plump and juicy, and the broth was rich and flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.

This oyster soup was a delightful surprise! I was hesitant to try it because I'm not usually a fan of oysters, but the flavors in this soup were perfectly balanced and the oysters were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
