Turkey Leftovers Soup

Ingredients

Any leftovers from your turkey dinner: the bones, neck, wings, and any bones left.
4 cups chicken stock
½ cup of green peas
½ cup of green beans
1 cup of rice
1 medium onion
3 celery stalks
4 medium potatoes
3 carrots
Dry oregano for garnish
1 tbsp of Yummy Seafood Seasoning
1 tsp of Yummy Blackening Seasoning

Preparation

To make this quick, let’s begin by chopping the veggies:
- Chop the onion
- Chop the celery stalks
- Slice the carrots
- Quarter the potatoes
In a large pot, heat about 2 tbsp of olive oil and cook the onion for about 3 minutes until you see it has changed it’s color to some more crystalized
Pour 4 cups of chicken stock and about 1 ½ of water. Place the turkey leftovers, bones included. Add the celery.
Sprinkle 1 tbsp of Yummy Seafood Seasoning and 1 tsp of Yummy Blackening Seasoning. The combination of both will bring out the New Orleans flavors to the mix.
Let it simmer in low heat for about 25 minutes.
Now it’s time for the rest of the veggies to enter the pot. We don’t put them in before because they can fall apart and turn your soup into a cream. Put the carrots, potatoes, peas and beans along with 1 cup of rice.
Let it simmer in medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, until you notice the potatoes and rice are done.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle dry oregano to the soup as a final touch.

Serving

This recipe will serve about 4-6 portions of soup. The soup is very substantial but if you want to add a side, bring some French bread to the table.
This and all Yummy recipes are best enjoyed when shared with friends and family.
