I ordered turtle soup and it was just consomme with no turtle to be seen in my bowl. Tasted like Campbell's chicken stock that comes in a box. It was expensive too, what a rip off. Never order turtle soup as there is no turtle in it.

I always thought it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Where was it you ordered turtle soup? There certainly was turtle in the turtle soup I've had.

The chocolate Turtles I buy don't have real turtles in them either, it's quite maddening.

Try the "Rock Soup" next time, though don't expect the main ingredient to be found in your serving either ;')

Come to Singapore and I'll get you some real turtle soup. You can even choose your own turtle as they keep them fresh in a terrarium. It's very popular here.

Gross. If you get yourself to New Orleans, you can have the real deal. I had some at Antoine's Las Vegas branch, while it was still open, and it was amazingly intense and wonderful.

Just get the canned tuna with dolphin in it. It usually costs less, as well.

I never get any bubble or squeek in my bubble and squeek, bread in my sweetbreads, a stove in my stovies and there's never any toad in my toad in the hole either

Every time I order turtle soup there is always a little turtle in it.

That's a great pic there...

Ok, thanks for the warning.
Guess I stay to lime soap then, as I get what the name say...

I suppose most turtle soup is made like most chicken soup: the cook ties a cord to one foot of the animal, throws it to the far side of the vat, and pulls it back quickly. Stone soup [it's not "rock soup"] is made in much the same way.
