This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I would love to try this recipe, but I'm allergic to shellfish. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute for the oysters?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong type of oysters.

The soup was good, but I found the oysters to be a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.
