Possibly a Toad Soup rather than frog? Most toads have parotid glands that produce toxins and many others have toxic glands all over their skins. There are possibly poisonous frog species here but I'm not aware of any. Salmonella is also a possibility but I'm sure the competent authorities would have noticed this as it has specific and common symptoms. Anyway, the big question is whether anyone else shared the delicious looking soup.

Husband took the biggest piece of frog/toad that was floating in the soup and left his wife the rest ?
Lucky for her in that case. RIP .
