GARLIC BROTH WITH BASMATI RICE, TURKEY AND SQUASH

Garlic Broth With Basmati Rice, Turkey and Squash image

This is the kind of soup you can whip up on a whim if you have garlic on hand and either summer or winter squash. You can make a vegetarian version of the soup just by eliminating the turkey. Otherwise it is one more healthy option for your Thanksgiving leftovers. When I made the soup the first time I used a lingering half-zucchini that I found in my sister's refrigerator. At this time of year you might be more likely to have winter squash on hand. Either will work. Winter squash will take 10 to 15 minutes longer to cook.

Time 45m

Yield Yield: Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 cups water
10 garlic cloves, crushed, peels removed
Salt to taste
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs thyme or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup basmati rice, rinsed
1 cup sliced or diced winter squash or zucchini
2/3 cup shredded turkey
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Freshly ground pepper (optional)

Steps:

Combine water, garlic, salt, bay leaf and thyme in a soup pot or saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. If you want a stronger flavor, simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, remove garlic, bay leaf and thyme sprigs from broth. Bring back to a simmer and add rice and winter squash if using (but not the zucchini). Cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until rice and squash are tender.
If using zucchini, add when rice is tender and simmer another 5 to 10 minutes, until soft but still bright. Stir in parsley and turkey and heat through. Taste, salt and pepper if desired, and serve.

GARLIC BROTH

Garlic Broth image

Whole cloves of garlic, uncut and simmered gently for an hour with aromatics, yield a mild, sweet tasting, comforting broth that makes an ideal vegetarian stand-in for chicken broth. According to nutritionist Johnny Bowden, garlic needs to be crushed, sliced, or chopped in order for its compounds to be released. For this broth, I just crush the cloves lightly by leaning on them with the flat side of my knife. The less crushed they are, the milder the broth will taste.

Time 1h

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 heads garlic
2 quarts water
1 tablespoon olive oil
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a fresh sage leaf
Salt to taste

Steps:

Bring a medium saucepan full of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice and water. Separate the head of garlic into cloves and drop them into the boiling water. Blanch for 30 seconds, then transfer to the ice water. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then drain and remove the skins from the garlic cloves. They'll be loose and easy to remove. Lightly crush the cloves by pressing on them with the flat side of a chef's knife.
Place the garlic cloves in a large saucepan with the remaining ingredients and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Strain. Taste and adjust salt.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, ginger, and herbs will give your broth the best flavor.
Toast the spices: Toasting the spices in a little oil before adding them to the broth will bring out their flavor.
Simmer the broth for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Strain the broth before serving: This will remove any solids, such as pieces of garlic or ginger.
Serve the broth with a variety of toppings: Some popular toppings include chopped cilantro, green onions, and crispy shallots.

This garlic broth is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for other dishes, such as soups, stews, and curries.
