Turtle soup is a soup made from the flesh of the turtle, often the green turtle or, especially in the United States, the snapping turtle, in which case it is commonly referred to as snapper soup (not to be confused with red snapper soup, which is made from the fish called a red snapper).
[edit] Trivia
Turtle Soup was President William Howard Taft's favorite food. He brought a special chef into the White House for the specific purpose of preparing this dish.
Turtle Soup was famously referenced by the arch-villain of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Shredder, in the original 1987 cartoon series, video games, and comics, as a way of taunting the heroes.
