Reply #15: Yesterday's "final exam mode" soup: [View All]

[eyesroll]

In a stockpot:
• Remnants of one turkey leg and one turkey wing (my dad cooked, so he got most of the bones)
• Three carrots
• A few ribs of sad-looking celery
• One onion, quartered, skin and all
• A handful of dried parsley (from the garden!)
• Some peppercorns
• Water to cover.

Cover and simmer slowly for way more hours than you intended because you forgot about it.

Strain, cool, pull the fat off the top. Shred the remaining turkey meat and cut up a few of the carrots into small chunks, and add back to the stock.

Separately, boil a third of a package of o-shaped pasta that you bought because you thought your kid would eat homemade-ish Spaghettios (ha!).

Add the pasta to the soup. Makes about 2 1/2 quarts.
