What is turtle soup?

Well, turtle soup is a little bit of everything. The stuff left over in your fridge and the lonely items in your pantry that have been sitting there for years, collecting dust until a canned-food drive carries them to a new shelf to be consumed. The dreams you have and the things you tell yourself that you will do by tomorrow. Turtle soup simmers slowly for as long as you need it to. Some soups boil for years and others are done in under three hours. One part silliness, another part tears, and another part thick and hearty. That is turtle soup: a strange concoction of who knows what that at some point or another will be just perfect.
