Turtle Soup

Thoroughly clean the turtle. Place in kettle and cover with cold water. Let it come to a boil and skim. Tie in a small bag one tablespoon of thyme, marjoram, and sweet basil; let it boil with the meat slowly for twenty minutes. Remove to the cooker for five or six hours. Use one radiator. Remove meat from bones and when cold cut and dice and return to the stock. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Brown some flour in oven, blend with butter and thicken the soup to the consistency of cream.
