How to make tag soup.

[Benha]

Start with 4 months of deer season.

Add a heart full of excitement.

A few dashes of “They should come right through here.”

Sprinkle with a few days of “Darn the wind has shifted.”

Add one day of the coughing fits.

Include one three year old grandson who had to tinkle 30 seconds before the best buck of the year decides to come through.

Add a cold and one case of Bronchitis.

Bottle it in your heart and mind to season until next year.

How truly blessed I was this year.

and wash it down with a twelve pak!

George, I would like your mailing address so you may add mine to the pot.

[SEMO_HUNTER]

That's good.

I actually prefer a tag sandwich. It's a bit hard to swallow and sticks to the roof of your mouth worse than peanut butter, but if you wash it down with a large mug of self pity it seems to go down easier.

Of course I add a slice of crushed ego to mine just for flavor and it's a dish best served cold.  :rolleyes:

Tag soup and sandwiches don't taste any better than deer track soup and none of them are very filling.

[Terry Lightle]

Does a paper tag count as fiber?Guys I have been there,just makes the next kill sweeter.

[Whip]

If properly prepared it can be very filling.  

The last line of the recipe says it all - well put George!  

[PaPaFrank]

I believe I'll add that to my recipe book. That last line really makes it Good Stuff! Thanks George...

I've got my tag soup simmering on the back burner until the 16th...then I'm gonna eat it up, dream of the ones that got away, and start planning their demise for next year

I tried tag soup many years ago in Mich. when the were metal seals. I still haven't digested them.

My tag soup had some added spice this year - the special ingredient was a full cup of:

"Missed shot at biggest buck you've ever seen"

For desert, it was a big slice of Humble Pie.

Tough to swallow but sweet in its own way.

"How truly blessed"  x2

The following warning should be included with all tag soup recipes: Do not let wife know the price of ingredients.

[BDann]

Sometimes you need to add a bit of "honey-do" list to taste.

sounds delicious!

I like to cut the tag into 4 equal pieces.  Set aside.  Take potatoes, carrotts, onions, and a package of last years deer steak.  Cook the vegetables until tneder, add the steak chopped into small cubes.  Continue to cook over a low flame until meat is tender, season to taste.  Put all of it in a bowl, add fresh baked bread and butter on the side.  After saying grace throw the tag away and eat!

if anyone would like a stail old elk tag for a bit of a different flavor id be glad to through mine in the pot.

After the end of this weekend, I'll be able to add another layer to my secret recipe, "Tag Lasagna".  Several layers already... and counting.

We don't have tags in Alabama, but I have some of that track stew simmering until Jan 31.  But got to spend a lot of time in the woods with both my 11 yr old and my 5 yr old this year.  Wouldn't trade it for anything.

[GraniteStater]

I love it, my soup tastes very similar  :p
