Turtle Soup image

Turtle Soup is a special treat in Louisiana. Both of my brothers were big sportsman. One of them used to say "Kill it, stuff it , or eat it". This was one of my brothers recipes. Note: here Louisiana we put whole boiled eggs in many of our soups and gumbos , they absorb all the spices and juices and are really yummy.
