Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by dicing the turtle meat and chopping the vegetables (onion, celery, carrot, garlic).

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

4

Cook the Turtle Meat

Add the diced turtle meat to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

5

Add Broth and Seasonings

Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

6

Simmer the Soup

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the turtle meat is tender.

7

Finish and Serve

Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley just before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
