post-thanksgiving turkey soup
Nov. 27th, 2010 01:19 pmOr: the time that I threw a bunch of things in the soup pot and hoped for the best. Which is to say:
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 inch of ginger, peeled and chopped
2 cloves of garlic, smashed (I would probably up this to three or even four)
1 carrot, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped (I had no onions, so I left this out)
1 handful of fresh parsley leaves, curly
1 32-oz package chicken stock
1 bay leaf
a dash of dried thyme
a dash of ground turmeric
~1 cup cooked turkey, shredded
~3/4 cup noodles, broken up into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper to taste
Heat a medium stockpot over medium heat, then swirl in olive oil and butter. Briefly saute ginger and garlic, then add carrot, celery, onion, and parsley and saute for two or three minutes. Add chicken stock and bay leaf and bring to a simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add the turkey, noodles, thyme, turmeric, and salt and pepper and increase the heat. Simmer until noodles are cooked through. Make sure to stir occasionally so that your noodles don't stick together. Serve hot.
