In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Sautéing the Vegetables

Add the diced alligator meat to the pot and cook until it is browned on all sides, about 5-10 minutes.

Cooking the Alligator Meat

Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

Simmering the Soup

Stir in the sherry wine and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

Finishing Touches

Remove the bay leaves before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
