Time 3h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 lbs turkey breast (It should have some meat remaining on it to make a good rich soup(at least 2 cups))
2 medium onions
3 stalks celery
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb Italian pastina or 1/2 lb pasta

Steps:

  • Place turkey breast in a large 6-quart pot. Cover with water, at least 3/4 full.
  • Peel onions, cut in large pieces, and add to pot. Wash celery stalks, slice, and add to pot also.
  • Simmer covered for about 2-1/2 hours.
  • Remove carcass from pot. Divide soup into smaller, shallower containers for quick cooling in the refrigerator.
  • After cooling, skim off fat.
  • While soup is cooling, remove remaining meat from turkey carcass. Cut into pieces.
  • Add turkey meat to skimmed soup along with herbs and spices.
  • Bring to a boil and add pastina.
  • Continue cooking on low boil for about 20 minutes until pastina is done. Serve at once or refrigerate for later reheating.
