Turkey Noodle Soup Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

MMMMMSTOCK

1 All bones from roast turkey
7 cup Water
1 Bay leaf
1 Stalk celery, chopped
1 Onion, quartered

MMMMMSOUP

1/4 cup Broken noodles, 1/2" pieces
1 Celery, Stack & leaves, chop
1 Carrot, chopped
3 Green onions, sliced
1/3 cup Zucchini, grated
1 tsp Dried basil
1 tsp Dried thyme
1 dash Hot pepper sauce
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper

Recipe Instructions:

My note: Remove bones from turkey or chicken before serving and
refrigerate or freeze until you have time to prepare the soup. I like
to do it the next day, if possible, and make a batch of crackers
while the soup is cooking.

STOCK: In stockpot or large saucepan, combine bones, water, bay leaf,
celery and onion. (Skin and drippings may be included, if desired.)
Simmer, covered about 4 hours. Strain, reserving stock. Let bones
cool, pick out any meat and add to the stock.

SOUP: In stockpot or saucepan, bring stock to boil; add noodles and
simmer for 5 minutes. Add celery, carrot, green onions, zucchini,
basil and thyme. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in hot pepper sauce,
season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 4 1/2 cups.

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?”

~ Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)
