Snapper Soup

Turtle soup to some is a sumptuous, sweet stew Full of flavor, a favorite of families, not a few Formed from the flesh of fresh turtle, so tasty Hot… in high demand, a delightful delicacy Made up of the meat, skin and innards of a turtle For a super turtle soup, steam a snapping turtle It was President William H Taft’s favorite food …a brown soup, tastes like a thick gravy, so good Snapper soup as it is being called by some of us …is a luxury in some lands, sweet and sumptuous.
