Steps:
- Drain the oysters in a colander set over a bowl. Reserve the juices.
- Saute the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve.
- Saute the onions in the bacon fat until tender and translucent, but not brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add flour, and cook over low heat for 2 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Add the milk and the reserved oyster juice gradually, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
- Add the bay leaf, and simmer for 20 minutes, skimming as necessary.
- Add the oysters and simmer about 5 minutes, or until oysters are barely cooked. Take care not to overcook the oysters.
- Add the warm cream and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into heated bowls and garnish with the reserved bacon and oyster crackers.
