Yield Makes 8 to 10 (first-course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 pounds turkey wings, cut at joints
9 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
3 carrots, peeled, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
2 15-ounce cans cannellini (white kidney beans), drained, rinsed
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until translucent. Add turkey wings, chicken broth and oregano. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat 1 hour.
  • Using tongs, transfer wings to work surface; cool. Remove meat from bones; discard skin and bones. Mix meat into soup. Bring to simmer. Add tomatoes with juices, carrots and celery. Cover; simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool soup slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover. Keep chilled. Bring to simmer before continuing.) Add orzo; simmer, covered, until pasta is tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Mix in cannellini and basil; cook until heated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, and spinach.
  • Don't overcook the orzo. Orzo is a small pasta, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a good quality turkey stock. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought stock.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot. Turkey orzo soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Turkey orzo soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give turkey orzo soup a try.
