Mock Turtle Soup image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 20

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
2 Tbsp kitchen bouquet or gravy master
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.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this soup was not it. It was bland and flavorless.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of mock meats, but this soup was actually really good. The texture was spot-on and the flavor was surprisingly beefy.
