TURKEY TORTELLINI SOUP



Turkey Tortellini Soup image

A leftover turkey carcass is used to make a delicious broth, which is then used to make a warming soup akin to the Italian favorite tortellini en brodo. The recipe is written for 1 pound of carcass -- for each additional pound, double the aromatic ingredients (carrot, onion, celery, parsley and peppercorns; do not add more bay leaves) used to enhance the broth's flavor. For more tortellini, you will need about 8 cups turkey broth for every 9 ounces of tortellini.

TURKEY & TORTELLINI SOUP



Turkey & Tortellini Soup image

This is a recipe I came up with to use the left over turkey from Thanksgiving. You can certainly substitute cooked chicken for the turkey. I wanted to try and keep it "lower calorie" than a cream based soup so obviously I couldn't use Half & Half or Heavy Whipping Cream, but I wanted a soup with a little more than a "broth" type consistency so I opted to make a blonde roux and it worked perfectly. Update 1/1/07: I made this soup today but decided to add 2 packages of dry ranch salad dressing mix just to see how it would turn out. I really like the extra flavor it adds and will make it this way from now on.

THIS IS A HIT WITH MY STUDENTS. ITS SIMPLE AND COOKS UP IN JUST UNDER A HOUR. BUT LET IT SIMMER AS LONG AS YOU CAN THE LONGER IS SIMMERS THE BETTER THE TASTE. JUST ADD THE TORTELLINI ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING. YOU DON'T WANT THEM GOING TO MUSH ON YOU.
