WICKED EASY TURKEY NOODLE SOUP



Wicked Easy Turkey Noodle Soup image

So, it's four days after Thanksgiving and my leftover turkey is threatening to revolt and turn on me and my mother's in my ear "Make some stock, make some stock!" BAH! So. Soup. It's pretty darn easy, doesn't need much seasoning and is perfect for the After-Thanksgiving Cold that everyone seems to get at the same time. I just made a pot of this and started doling it out.

Time 2h

Yield 16 2-cup servings, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 -20 lb) turkey carcass
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
6 cups roughly chopped pre- cooked turkey
1 lb corkscrew macaroni
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 small onions
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup white wine

Steps:

  • For the base of your soup, arrange the turkey bones (break them off from the carcass if you need to) in a really big pot, about 8 quart pot ought to do just fine. Cover this with water and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for one hour. By then, the stock should be nice and golden with cooked bits of meat floating hither and yon.
  • Strain, catching all the stock in another pot or bowl big enough to hold it all. Feed bones and leftover meat bits to the ravenous pet doggies staring at you through the glass door.
  • In a smaller pot, melt butter. Slowly add flour, whisking quickly until the creamy mixture starts to bubble. Continue whisking, add some of the turkey stock to the flour/butter mixture until it looks good and cloudy (about 2 or 3 cups). Add this mixture back to the main pot of stock and set aside.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions, strain and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to a big pot. Make sure this pot can hold the stock, turkey and pasta because this is the pot that will be holding it all. About 8 to 10 quarts should do just fine.
  • Chop up the onion roughly and add to olive oil. Cook onion for a few minutes until it's mostly soft, then add the garlic. Cook these two together for another couple minutes then add the white wine (substitute turkey stock). Stand back when you add this because the pan is going to be hot and will probably steam up real big. Since I have a tendency to hover over my pots, I usually get an eyeful of vaporized alcohol and spend the next five minutes cursing my existence and the bottle of cheap wine I used.
  • Stir up all the yummy bits at the bottom of the pan and then add the chopped up turkey. It's not necessary to cook the turkey a second time but I like to warm up the turkey and cook off some of the butter left on the breast or oil in the dark meat and allow the turkey to combine with the onion.
  • Add all of the turkey stock and warm thoroughly, do not boil. Add the cooked pasta.
  • If you like more tender meat in your soup, omit the pasta at the end, throw the whole kit'n kaboodle into a crockpot on low for at least 4 hours, no more than 8. Add the pasta and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey. For the best flavor, use a turkey that is fresh or has been frozen and thawed. Avoid using a turkey that has been previously cooked.
  • Season the turkey well. Before cooking, season the turkey with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the soup.
  • Cook the turkey until it is tender. The turkey should be cooked until it is no longer pink in the center. This will ensure that the meat is safe to eat and that it is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Make a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it is important to make it as flavorful as possible. Use a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices to create a rich and flavorful broth.
  • Add the noodles. Once the broth is finished, add the noodles and cook them according to the package directions. This will give the soup a hearty and filling texture.
  • Serve the soup hot. Turkey noodle soup is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it thoroughly before serving.
