    Put the rabbit into a large pot, cover it with cold water, add the lemon and bay leaves and bring to a boil. pour off the water and set the rabbit aside. Clean the pot. Return the rabbit to the pot and cover it with 2 inches of fresh cold water.

    Add the celery, onions, carrots, potato, parsley and tomatoes, partly cover and slowly simmer, turning the rabbit once or twice, until the meat flakes with a fork, about 1 hour. Drain, saving the broth. Press the vegetables through a sieve or food mill and return to the broth. You should have about 8 cups.
