As a matter of fact, yes...



However, the proper preparation of "skeets" is an art as is the bagging of 
such.  Much like Pheasant, you can do little with one that has been either 
blown to pieces or left full of shot.  Fortunately shot wrapped in feather 
balls is rare with skeet.  They tend to be rather thin skinned and fragile, 
but still... there is nothing you can do with one that has been blown to 
pieces.



Properly bagging a skeet that you wish to cook requires that only a few 
pellets hit the bird, but they must do it in such a manner that either you 
or your companions note the bird was hit solidly enough to bring it down. 
For it to count you must knock off that visible piece.   As I said, they are 
fragile and even a visible piece indicates a good hit.

.

They are known for being difficult to prepare and the amateur chef usually 
ends up with them as mealy as out of season potatoes, or like a creamy Onion 
soup with too much cream and not enough onion.



A good blender is essential for preparation of the raw skeet. Beware the 
infamous "Orange Skeet".  They can taint the soup and not only render it 
unpalatable, but tend to give it a very unappetizing color.



A properly blended wine sauce that has been allowed to "cook down", beef 
bouillon, small pieces of roast cut into half inch cubes, lots of diced 
onions, one crushed garlic clove, a bit of basil is essential.  Then season 
to taste.



Properly done you get a very creamy soup.



Although considered a delicacy, I should warn those who have not tried 
"Skeet soup" it is an acquired taste. Many put far too much salt into it, 
claiming it tastes like calk.  For the expert chef skeets can also be 
prepared in much the same manner as curry although some say the spices over 
power the natural skeet taste.
