Turkey And Asparagus Soup

Rae
Rae @LoveRae

In this recipe, I never really measured, there is no set measurements as this is a recipe to use up all vegetables and meat laying about in your house. Save the tips of the vegetables and use them as a thickener for the soup. I had a whole bag of asparagus tips to use up so I saved them and added to the soup, the asparagus are what give this soup the flavour. This tastes a bit like split pea soup. Cooking the juices out of the carcasses and bones is a great way to add fantastic flavour to soups.

Cooking Instructions

60 mins
  1. 1

    There's no set way of doing this recipe. However I do suggest using the asparagus for the base of the soup.

  2. 2

    Bring the bones to the boil for about 15-20 minutes with the chicken stock cube, a pinch of salt and with plenty of water. Reduce the liquid to a broth like consistency, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    When done strain the liquid into another pot using a sieve. Be careful not to burn yourself.

  4. 4

    Add whatever vegetables you want to the pot including any mashed or already cooked, and bring to the boil. This will take 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your vegetables and whether they are cooked or not. It does not matter whether you slightly over cook the vegetables.

  5. 5

    When the vegetables are cooked using an electric food processor, pulse until the vegetables have turned into a thick creamy consistency.

  6. 6

    Return to the pot and add a pinch of black pepper and salt to taste if needs be.

  7. 7

    In the meantime add the remaining vegetables, you want to leave whole. I would suggest adding vegetables that are already cooked. I used frozen peas, broccoli, I also added the can of beans and Turkey meat and let it simmer for a further 10 or so minutes on a low to medium heat stirring occasionally.

  8. 8

    When done let it rest for 10 minutes. Check the seasoning and serve.
