Manager of Capri restaurant in Gore Steve Tutty is famous for his oyster soup.
The restaurant has been around for over 40 years and is flat out making his signature dish while oyster season is in full swing.
He not only sells the soup at Capri but it is also starting to be sold in shops across the country.
However, the recipe for Tutty's Oyster Soup is a closely guarded secret.
So instead, Steve shares his recipe for hearty vegetable soup with Kathryn Ryan.
