Introduction

Easy to make Turkey soup from leftover bird after a big feast. I make the stock from the carcass and giblets after the meal, throwing in what I have saved for the previous few days. This soup is great for a lovely taste of roast turkey in a low calorie, easy to make meal. Easy to make Turkey soup from leftover bird after a big feast.

Ingredients

    2 cup, chopped Onions, raw
    5 clove Garlic
    2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    4 cup, chopped Carrots, raw
    4 stalk, large (11"-12" long) Celery, raw
    1 sweetpotato, 5" long Sweet potato
    4 dash Pepper, black
    2 tbsp Basil
    1 tbsp Sage, ground
    1 tsp Thyme, ground
    2 tbsp Tarragon, ground
    1 cup Wild Rice
    3 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap
    1 cup kernels Yellow Sweet Corn, Frozen
    4 cup, chopped or diced Turkey, young tom, light meat, meat only, cooked, roasted

Tips

This is extremely easy to make and of course play around with. I love tarragon for its unique savory flavour but I could just as easily go with a white wine and fennel bulb type flavour. Fun to play around with and fast.


Directions

In a large Saucepan add olive oil and heat.
Sautee onions and garlic to sweat the onions - about three minutes. Add chopped carrots and celery - then the sweet potato or yam.
Cook for about 4 minutes while adding spices. I like to crack black pepper in a mortar and pestle.
Add Wild Rice (sub with some other rice of choice but i love wild rice and it adds a unique, nutty flavour with a great texture to the soup.)
Add Turkey Stock. Bring to a boil and simmer lid on for about 35 minutes.
Add water and frozen corn. Bring back to a boil.
Add left over turkey stripped of skin or bone.
Let simmer for about 15 minutes.
Serve in large bowls. Consider garnishes of fresh herbs like parsely and/or slices of avocado.
