Mr. A's Turtle Soup

Ingredients

6 carrots
4 onions
1 stalk celery
1/2 gal
5 gals
525 gr gelatin
2 gr marjoram
2 gumbo file
2 gr coriander
6 bay leaves
1 kitchen spoon mace
2 gr spanish saffron
200 gr anise
10 lemons

Instructions

veal bones Boil turtle meat until tender; reduce stock and clarify. Add ingredients for stock pot. To stock pot add carrots, onions, celery, Burgundy, and Povirade sauce. Tighten with gelatin. This recipe will yield approximately 10 gallons. Under refrigeration, the soup will hold for several weeks. Well, I hope this recipe helps in the use of turtles, though I suspect you will have to have a very large family or like turtle soup a lot, or scale the recipe to a more manageable quantity.
