I would have loved to get fresh oysters but I had to settle for frozen,I used kale in place of the spinach, add in some granulated garlic pepper and went heavy on the Tabasco, I'm going to make it again because it's a very good tasting soup (and I love oysters!) thanks Mikekey

Another one of your recipes I have made many times. This is really easy to put together but tastes like you spent all day making it. Thanks for sharing this here.
