When I was cooking at the Seafarer's Inn back in the early '70's turtle soup was very popular. I learned to make it there and my husband loved it. Sea turtle meat is now out-lawed so I found this mock turtle soup recipe and surprised him. He could barely tell the difference.

1 large onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp butter, unsalted
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 lb meaty oxtails
3 clove garlic, whole
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp allspice, ground
1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
3 c chicken stock
3 c hot water
1 c tomatoes, peeled and chopped

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 thin skinned lemon, chopped, skin and all
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 large eggs, hard boiled
1 tsp dry sherry or sauternes wine for each serving or more to your taste

Steps:

  • 1. Brown onion in the butter and oil, add the oxtails and brown slightly. Add the spices and herbs, then stir in the flour until it bubbles, adding more butter and oil as needed.
  • 2. Pour in the hot water and stock and bring to a boil. Add the remaining ingredients, except the egg, parsley and sherry. Simmer for 2 hours. Remove the oxtail, cut the meat and marrow away--add back to the soup and discard the bones.
  • 3. When ready to serve, chop the eggs coarsely and stir into the soup. Ladle into bowls, stir in a teaspoon of sherry to each, top with parsley...and put a cruet of sherry on the table, for atmosphere if nothing else.

MOCK TURTLE SOUP

This creation was inspired by the popular and renowned "Bookbinder's Snapper Soup" served at the Bookbinder's Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA. Estb. 1865. It is available in cans on some grocer's shelves. I visited Bookbinder's on a couple of occasions, and savored their gem. I call it Mock Turtle because I use chicken or beef...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 can(s) campbell's tomato soup (original plain)
1 can(s) water
1 pkg frozen mixed vegetables, peas, carrot and corn varitey 12 oz.
1 1/2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 to 1/2 tsp gravy master or kitchen bouquet to darken slightly
1 or 2 c cooked chicken light and/or dark meat
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 oz cream sherry (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat tomato soup and water in sauce pan. Add frozen mixed vegetables. Add worcestershire sauce.
  • 2. Note: When warmed through 1/3 of the vegetables can be pureed and added back in to thicken soup slightly.
  • 3. When warmed through add cooked chicken chopped to size of kidney bean.
  • 4. Cook until everything is well heated. Add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet to darken slightly. (The original soup is dark reddish brown.)
  • 5. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Should have a distinct worcestershire taste, if not add a little additional.
  • 6. Optional: Add 1/3 to 1/2 ounce Cream Sherry to each bowl when serving.
  • 7. Note: Soup should have a fairly watery consistency, if not add additional water and/or chicken broth to thin. If added taste and adjust for salt and pepper and Worcestershire Sauce flavor.
  • 8. Serve with warm French or Italian Bread slices or Dinner Rolls.
  • 9. Note: Finely cubed cooked beef could be used in lieu of the chicken. It will taste the same.
  • 10. I also add a touch of Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet to darken my barbeque sauces and on occasion spaghetti sauces.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepared. This will make the cooking process smoother.
  • Use Fresh Veggies: Fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and texture. For the best taste, use fresh produce.
  • Beef Broth: Choose a flavorful beef broth as the base of your soup. It will provide a rich and savory foundation.
  • Simmer for Flavor: Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust seasonings to your preference. A well-balanced combination of salt, pepper, and herbs is key.
  • Serve Hot: Mock turtle soup is best served hot. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for an extra touch of flavor.
