Turkey Frame Soup Continued.....

So this is where I left you yesterday.......


I also started my Turkey Frame Soup.  I threw the turkey frame, neck, skin, and scraps into my stockpot added an onion, parsley, a carrot and a stalk of celery.  Brought this to a boil and reduced the heat to low.  I will let it simmer while we have dinner and I make the Tiramisu and then it will go outside (It is in the 30's here) to cool off and be continued tomorrow.

 

This morning I brought in the stock. 

 And removed all the meat from the bones.

 

 

I ended up with quite a bit of meat from those scraps.

 

 

I strained the broth through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth.

8 cups for the soup and the rest to use while cooking this week.

 

 

Chop 3 cups of vegetables of your choice.

Today I am using onions, carrots and celery because that is what I have on hand.

In the past, I have used broccoli or cauliflower, mushroom and parsnips.

Whatever vegetables you like and have on hand are fine.

 

 

You will need a can of diced tomatoes

 

 

And a couple of handfuls of noodles.

 

 

Place broth in a soup pot.

Add bouillon cubes, basil, tomatoes with their juice and vegetables.

Bring to boil and let cook for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Throw in a couple of handfuls of noodles and boil another 10 minutes.

Turn heat to low, add turkey and heat through.

 

 

Enjoy!
