MOCK TURTLE SOUP
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.

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...

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:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and turnips.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. About 10-15 minutes of cooking time should be sufficient.
- Use a good quality beef broth. This is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and has a rich flavor.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or sherry for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some good choices include croutons, crackers, or a dollop of sour cream.
