Schildpadsoep

== Description ==
Although this soup is called "Turtle Soup", there is not any turtle meat in this soup. What makes this even more confusing is that there is also a Imitatie Schildpadsoep or "Imitation Turtle Soup" that is an imitation of the imitation.

* onion
* carrot
* parsley
* bay leaf
* thyme
* 6 peppercorns
* marjoram
* rosemary
* basil
* meat drippings or soy sauce
== Directions ==
# Leave the beef and hock or calf's head to simmer for 3½ hours in the water, with some salt added to taste.
# Slowly saute the finely chopped bacon with the herbs in the butter.
# Add the flour and leave the flour and butter to brown, but not burn.
# Slowly add the hot stock, bringing the mixture to the boil between adding.
