This is what the Catholic Church says is okay, orthodox follows different dietary rules.
It’s actually answered in my previous post.Does alligator count as fish?
How about turtle for snapper soup?
Frog legs?
Beef broth is not meat and is not forbidden during Lenten abstinence.
"Abstinence laws consider that meat comes only from animals such as chickens, cows, sheep or pigs—all of which live on land. Birds are also considered meat. Abstinence does not include meat juices and liquid foods made from meat. Thus, such foods as chicken broth, consommé, soups cooked or flavored with meat, meat gravies or sauces, as well as seasonings or condiments made from animal fat are not forbidden." -USCCB
Don't know why I"ve never looked this up before. I always thought that we couldn't use those. That being said, I give up meat on Friday's all year long and use meat flavorings on those days but during Lent I do my best to refrain from using them. It takes it to a new level for me
My go to is usually mac n cheese with salsa, baked potatoes, salmon, breakfast, and shrimp quesadillas. I have always said that I should give up seafood for Lent and not meat. It would be more of a sacrifice
