Mock Turtle Soup

1. 1

   In large pot, combine water, beef, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, onion, lemon, salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Separate the meat into bits in the water; cook until meat is well done, about 1/2 hour.

3. 3

   In the meantime, crush the gingersnaps by rolling between 2 pieces of wax paper.

4. 4

   Fill the empty catsup bottle with water and in a bowl add it to the gingersnap crumbs.

5. 5

   Stir until lumps are out and mixture well blended.

6. 6

   Add this to the meat mixture and simmer for 1/2 hour longer, until flavor is right, stirring occasionally, so crumbs do not stick.

7. 7

   A few minutes before mixture is ready, add vinegar and chopped eggs.

8. 8

   Leftovers can be frozen.
