This excellent soup was invented in response to the soaring price of green sea turtle long before it was banned entirely. No Mock Turtles are injured in making this soup! | |||
This is a rude American version, not the refined European recipe, which starts by boiling a whole calf's head to make a clear consommé with strips of calf's head floating in it. It may surprise you, but even the places where I shop don't carry calf heads. Sheep yes, pig rarely, but no calf. |
