Mom's Turkey Soup Recipe

Every Thanksgiving my mother takes what's left of the turkey carcass and makes a delicious turkey soup recipe that we enjoy for days.

The first step is to make the stock, which you can get started on right after dinner.

Method

---

Making Stock

1. Remove all the usable turkey meat from the turkey carcass to save for making sandwiches later or for adding to the soup.
    
2. Break up the leftover bones of the carcass a bit, so they don't take up as much room in the pot. Put the leftover bones and skin into a large stock pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add any drippings that weren't used to make gravy, and any giblets (except liver) that haven't been used already. Add a yellow onion that has been quartered, some chopped carrots, parsley, thyme, a bay leaf, celery tops, and some peppercorns.
    
3. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to bring the stock to a bare simmer or just below a simmer. ( If you would like to have a clear stock, do not bring the stock to a boil, but keep the stock below a simmer, as the more you simmer, the more cloudy the stock will be.) Skim off any foamy crud that may float to the surface of the stock.
    
4. Add salt and pepper, about 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper. It sort of depends on how big your turkey is. You can always add salt to the soup later.
    
5. Cook for at least 4 hours, uncovered or partially uncovered (so the stock reduces), occassionally skimming off any foam that comes to the surface. To help maintain a steady, even heat, you can cook the stock in a 180-200°F oven.
    
6. Remove the bones and veggies and strain the stock, ideally through a very fine mesh strainer.
    
7. If making stock for future use in soup you may want to reduce the stock by cooking it longer, uncovered, at a bare simmer or just below a simmer, to make it more concentrated and easier to store.

Making the Turkey Soup

---

Prepare the turkey soup much as you would a chicken soup. With your stock already made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley, a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning - poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a bouillion cube. Cook at a bare simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. (Or you can sauté the vegetables in a little fat rendered from the soup first, and add back to the soup right before serving.) You can add rice, noodles*, or even leftover mashed potatoes (or not if you want the low carb version). Take some of the remaining turkey meat you reserved earlier, shred it into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. You may also want to add some chopped tomatoes, either fresh or canned. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes a dash or two of Tabasco gives the soup a nice little kick.

*If cooking gluten-free use gluten-free noodles.

Pasta Recipe With Roasted Vegetables & Fresh Herbs

Here is a quick, easy and delicious recipe was Italian pasta that you made for dinner tonight. Anyone can do that. Your family feel as if they eat an authentic Italian restaurant after eating this dish.

But before we get to this recipe I give you some tips on buying the best quality ingredients for this dish.

Tips for buying your vegetables

The key to this dish, or any dish that calls for fresh vegetables, educate yourself about how to choose the best ingredients. It can be confusing to the store with all the different varieties, textures, sizes and shapes that vegetables are available in.

I try to use only organic fruits and vegetables. They may be expensive, but they are delicious, higher in nutrients, and mostly free of any dangerous chemicals.

For this dish I use Roma or Plum tomatoes. A Roma tomato is a kind of Plum tomatoes and to the best of my knowledge, there is no real difference between the two. I love Plum or Roma tomatoes used for cooking and making sauces. They are more meat and less juice and seeds than other varieties. They also have a better taste in my opinion.

Choose tomatoes that are heavy for their size and have a deep rich color. This deep rich color, shows not only the taste of the tomato, but it is also an indication that the tomato is a greater supply of healthy ingredients, "lycopene".

The smell of tomatoes. They must feel fresh and local. Choose tomatoes that are smooth and free of cuts, blemishes and weaknesses. In the selection of your squash, make sure it is sturdy and heavy for its size. Examination of the skin for a possible reduction or weaknesses. Look at the stem and make sure that this is not discolored or shriveled. Choose squash that is smaller and these children are generally more tender.

The Pasta

I'm really spend a part of this article for pasta? Can not you just use any pasta? Does it really make a difference?

In my opinion, yes, it makes a difference. There are many varieties of pasta on the shelves of your supermarket, but not everyone is equal. I tried many different brands of pasta and myself always return to Barilla.

The cooking is perfect every time. When I say well, I mean "al dente". When pasta is cooked "al dente", they must be firm but not hard. Cook pasta in this condition requires practice. Follow the instructions on the back of the box. Friday they are usually accurate. My recommendation would be to try the pasta a minute or two before the suggested cooking time is reached.

INGREDIENTS

Here are the ingredients you need. These measures are not static. Everyone has different preferences. You can easily adjust the ingredients here for everyone. The kitchen has everything to do with the experiment and I think many of my recipes evolve over time.

1 Book of Barilla pasta - Penne I use. I've tried other types of pasta such as spaghetti and ziti, penne, but seems to have the best texture and possessing the best ingredients in this dish.

3-4 Yellow summer cut into 1 / 2 inch pieces

3-4 Roma or plum tomatoes, cut into 1 / 2 inch pieces

4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

1-2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme

1 cup torn fresh basil leaves

1 / 4 cup fresh Italian parsley

1 / 4 cup Asiago or Parmesan More than a little bit more for serving

More filets of olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Add your vegetables and garlic in a large baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir so that the vegetables are coated with olive oil.

Put the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden. Make sure they do not burn! It should not take longer than 30 minutes.

While the vegetables roast, take a large pot with salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Let the pasta, but reserve a cup or so of the pasta water. Return pasta to saucepan.

Add the grilled vegetables, fresh herbs, cheese, butter, a dash of olive oil and salt and pepper to the batter.

If the mixture is dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water.

Stir and serve. Top with cheese, if desired.

Enjoy!
