Instructions:
In a 3-quart casserole, melt butter and saute shallots.
When shallots are translucent, add thyme, bay leaf and cayenne pepper.

Bring to a boil.
Add oysters and parsley.
Simmer on medium, partly covered, for exactly 5 minutes.
Add whipped cream and serve immediately.
NOTES: * Chicken broth with artichokes and poached oysters -- This is a modern cajun-style recipe that I adapted from a local convenience-food cookbook by Jean Durkee.
It's an intriguing combination of modern American ingredients with traditional cajun flavorings.
* Fresh parsley tastes much better than dried parsley.
If the oysters are bigger than a small bite-size, cut them up before adding them to the soup.
Use the smallest oysters you can find.
* When I'm not making a double recipe, I usually dump the entire (about 1-cup) container of whipping cream into the soup, even though that's double what the recipe calls form.
* The timing on cooking the oysters is fairly critical.
If you overcook them, they will be rubbery.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 20 minutes.
: Precision: measure the spices.
