Return the artichoke mixture to the skillet with the rest of the ingredients, and simmer about 10 minutes to blend flavors. At this point the soup may be set aside or refrigerated. Just before serving, heat the soup to boiling. Reduce heat, and add the cream and poached oysters. Correct salt and pepper. Return the soup to a simmer. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
