I'll post this rabbit soup recipe for those interested.
It is a great soup and a nice change-up with rabbits.. cooking it this weekend for our Wild Game Dinner.
2 roasted rabbits (not always necessary to roast) 4 cups potatoes diced or cubed
4 t salt 2 cups fresh carrots sliced
1 onion quartered 8 oz egg noodles uncooked
5 qt water 1 - 16oz can whole kernal corn drained
1/2 t dried crushed oregano 10 oz frozen broccoli
1 t dried crushed thyme
3 tomatoes cut in 1/8ths

Instead of rabbit you could substitute with 2-3 squirrels
place in large stock pot or dutch oven - meat with bones, add salt, onions and water. bring to boil and then reduce heat.
cover and simmer for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs. then remove meat and bones. separate meat from bones. cut meat into desired size pieces.
remove onion from broth. add meat, oregano, thyme, tomatoes, and bring water back up to 5 qts. (can use some beef broth instead of water).
stir in potatoes and carrots. bring to boil, reduce heat. cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
add egg noodles, corn, broccoli and boil for final 15 minutes.
Serves 10 people, almost a double batch size. I always add more meat than called for... just my preferance.
Enjoy guys and gals!

I made a similar soup, but I ran into a problem. After boiling the rabbit meat for that roughly that long, it became stringy and hair-like. The soup was delicious, but I couldn't get over the texture of that meat. Since then I've broiled/baked rabbit meat.

I talked to Randy about this and when we make turtle soup we take the meat out just before it's done, remove it from the bones and finish the soup. Then add the meat just before the soup is done long enough to heat the meat through. That way the meat does not go all stringy.

I roasted the rabbits ahead of time with a rub.
Broth was made last night. I plan to assemble the final ingredients and the rabbit chunks near the end in the stock pot
at the dinner. hopefully this should work. We'll see.
