Beaufort Oyster Soup Recipe Ingredients:
Oysters	either real Beaufort caught or canned (one can).

Flour	use just enough to thicken up the regular milk.

Melt butter (or oleo) and pour oysters & juice. Cook until edges begin to curl. Add milk thickened with a little flour, salt, pepper, evaporated milk, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and a little more butter. Stir well and cook until hot but do NOT boil. Add some oyster crackers on the side and there you go, Oyster stew, Beaufort style (just like Moms)
