Veal & Okra Soup

My family made this soup when okra was in season in mid- to late summer. My mother loves okra so we had this soup often. Frying the okra before adding it to the soup sears off a bit of the “slime” that occurs naturally, making for a much nicer texture. This is my favorite way to cook with okra because you are just left with its delicate earthy flavor. If you can’t find veal, you can easily substitute pork tenderloin.
