Upon our return from the beach, I found packages of this, that 'n' the other long forgotten food items in the freezer… all perfect for putting up a huge pot of soup. It was such a mishmash of ingredients, but Joe kept commenting on its deliciousness. So, here's the deal:
Into my largest pot went a meaty turkey breast frame, baked pumpkin, a roasted red pepper, two fresh sweet onions, bay leaves, salt, pepper, garlic, ginger and enough water and chicken broth (also from the freezer) to cover. Simmer, simmer, simmer till all levels of your abode smell good. Meanwhile, cook up some orzo; cool.
Remove frame from pot and pull all meat from it. Shred or chop. Remove bay leaves and purée remaining ingredients with immersion blender. Season with lemon, tarragon and pepper; allow to cool. Add meat and orzo; refrigerate overnight to properly blend flavors.
Back to Snow means Back to Soup. Enjoy!
