Turtle Soup image

This hearty soup has a real "snappy" flavor from the cayenne pepper and lemon juice. It's a treat and good use of turtle meat. With a salad and fresh bread, a steaming bowlful makes a nice meal. -Dave Wood, Elmwood Park, New Jersey

This soup is okay. It's not the best turtle soup I've ever had, but it's not bad either. I would probably make it again if I was in a pinch.
