Robin's Notes:

I am posting this recipe for a club member that requested a Turkey Soup. I hope you like this one version, and I think that it will be delicious, Beth.

P.S. If you don't like Tarragon as a herb, you can substitute fresh Thyme and Parley for a fresher
taste. Also, another member, Beth, added peas and potatoes to the soup...Just a consideration...

 

Directions

1
Mise en place your onion, carrot, and celery. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and fry the onion for 3 minutes.
2
Add the cooked turkey to the pan with 1/2 pint of the chicken stock. Add the bay leaf to soup.
3
Bring the soup to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Allow to cool some, and then pour the remaining stock into soup. Add the cream. and remove from heat so it does not scald.
4
Remove bay leaf. Next. salt and pepper to taste.
5
Add the chopped tarragon. Garnish with a small sprig of tarragon and serve with croutons

Well, I am definitely printing this off because it contains turkey. Thanks for posting it Robin. Oh, by the way, Papillotte is in the works.

Y'know the three common broths are chicken, beef, and veggie, whether store bought or homemade but turkey necks are available and cheap so I tried making broth with them to use for homemade soups. I'm a convert. Turkey necks make great broth and the kitties were very happy to have me pick off the meat of the boiled necks for them!
