We had Thanksgiving dinner at my son's house,
so I didn't have a
turkey carcass to make soup. But we love
turkey sandwiches with
cranberry sauce for lunch, and of course you
just have to have
the soup. So I bought a small turkey, took
a lot of the meat off
for sandwiches, and used the carcass for soup.
Turkey Soup
1 turkey frame with meat attached
3 quarts water
2 large onions chopped in big pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
1 16-oz. can of chopped tomatoes with juice
2 Tbsp. chicken bouillon granules
2 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
2 Tbsp. dried thyme
2 Tsp. oregano
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped broccoli
1/2 cup chopped cauliflower
1 cup chopped cabbage
1 cup uncooked rice (optional)
Break up turkey frame and place in very large
pot. Add water, one
chopped onion and salt and pepper. Bring water
to a boil then
cover pot, reduce heat and simmer for about 1
and 1/2 hours.
Remove turkey frame and allow to cool.
Remove meat from bones. Strain broth and discard pieces of bone.
Remove turkey frame and allow to cool, and then
remove the meat
from bones. Strain broth and discard pieces of
bone. Pour broth
back into pot and add turkey meat, tomatoes with
juice, chicken
bouillon, parsley, thyme, oregano, the second
onion and the
veggies. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat
and simmer for about
one hour.
Skim the fat from the broth, and pour broth back
into pot and add
turkey meat, tomatoes with juice, chicken bouillon,
parsley,
thyme, oregano, the second onion and the veggies.
Bring to a
boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about
another hour.
