Turkey And Chile Soup

Recipe By : fnsjc@aurora.alaska.edu
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time: 0:0
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
16 ounces tomatoes
7 ounces green chiles -- diced
1 onion -- cut into chunks
3 cups chicken broth -- or homemade turkey
stock
3 cups cooked turkey -- bite sized pieces
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 10 ounce wh kernel corn, frozen
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

This is a recipe that I like to use for turkey leftovers. I use the carcass to
make the stock first. I throw in any vegetables I want to use up in the fridge
into the stock pot except cabbage and broccoli and carrot greens which smell too
strong if I let the stock boil too hard by accident. I simmer the stock about 2
hours or so. After straining the stock and discarding the bones and vegetables I
use the following recipe from the Sunset "Fresh Ways with Chicken" cookbook, which
I usually double. I also use more broth and less turkey than they call for, I
really don't measure the ingredients, I just add what I've got until it's as thick
as I want it and the proportions look right. In a blender or food processor
combine tomatoes and their liquid, chiles and onion; whirl until smooth. Pour
into a large pan, add broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Add turkey, rice,
corn, garlic and spices. Reduce heat and simmer until heated through. Serve with
fresh cilantro, sour cream and tortilla strips, their recipe calls for strips made
from flour tortillas, but I use corn sometimes too.

1 pound mushrooms -- chopped
1 bunch collard greens -- or spinach or other
6 ounces tomato paste

Stem and chop greens. Put chicken, onion and mushrooms in soup pot. Add enough

while you're washing and chopping the greens, about 10 minutes. Add salt, red
pepper and tomato paste. Boil for about another 5 or 10 minutes. Add greens and
replace lid, steaming greens and stirring them in. Variations: sometimes we add
some exotic ingredients like smoked fish and/or ground egusi (which is a kind of
melon seed), but it's perfectly tasty without these additions. This is
traditionally served with "fufu" which is a doughy starch made variously from gari
(roasted, fermented, ground cassava), or from semolina flour or from various
combinations of Bisquick, potato Buds, potato starch, etc. It's also good over
rice.

Winter Tomato Garlic Macaroni Soup

Recipe By : "Jessica Litman" <p01046@psilink.com>


Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time: 0:0
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 garlic bulbs
2 large yellow onions
2 leeks -- white part only
4 tablespoons olive oil -- butter, or
butter/oil
26 ounce tomatoes -- chopped, or 1 can pl
1 dried ancho peppers -- optional
1 quart tomato broth -- see note
1 quart chicken broth -- or vegetable broth
or
6 cups water
rosemary
basil
parsley
sea salt
pepper
8 ounce macaroni
parmesan cheese -- optional

Separate the garlic bulbs into cloves and peel. Divide garlic cloves into three
piles. Mince onions with one third of the garlic cloves (I use a food processor).
Heat oil or butter in large (6 quart or more) pot and saute onion and garlic until
soft but not brown. Slice leeks thinly with another third of the garlic cloves (I
use the food processor again, with a #2 slicing disk, but any slicing disk works
fine, as does a knife), and add to the pot. Saute until soft. Remove the stem and
seeds from the ancho peppers. Add the tomatoes, broths and water to the pot; then
add the herbs and ancho peppers. (I always have cheesecloth around, so I usually
chop up the fresh herbs and put them with the dried ancho pepper in a piece of
cheesecloth that I tie up like a bag; this makes it easy to fish the herbs and
ancho out at the end, which makes the soup prettier.) Bring to a boil, cover the
pot, lower the heat and simmer for two hours until the onion and leek have pretty
well melted into the soup. If fishing the herbs and ancho pepper out of the soup
isn't too messy, do it now. Slice the reserved garlic very very thinly, and add
to the soup pot. Add water if it has gotten too thick. Simmer covered, for 30
minutes. If you are going to save the soup and serve it tomorrow, stop here, cool
and refrigerate it. Otherwise, keep going. 10 minutes before serving, uncover
the pot, taste the soup, season with salt and pepper and bring to a rolling boil.
Add the macaroni, and cook for a couple minutes less than you usually would,
because you aren't going to drain it. Or, cook the macaroni separately and add it
just before you ladle the soup into bowls. Grate a little parmesan cheese over the
top, if you like.
NOTE: Tomato broth: I use a recipe adapted from one of Molly O'Neill's Sunday
New York Times Magazine columns: for one quart of tomato broth, chop four pounds
or more or fresh or canned plum tomatoes (or use 4 lbs of Pomi tomatoes in the
box, which come already chopped), and put in a 4 quart pot with 1 teaspoon sea
salt, 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and 1
Tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary. Bring just to a boil, stirring, and then strain
immediately through a fine mesh strainer (stirring the mixture from time to time
with a wire whisk will help it get through the strainer.)
