OKOK....the last pound of Turkey and Ham got the soup treatment today
so along with leftover veggies ...and yes it did have some sprouts in too.
lets get the Christmas scene picture out of the way and concentrate on
the hot grub.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 lb Turkey meat shreaded
1/2 lb Ham meat Shreaded
2 Celery Sticks chopped fine
1 medium Onion chopped fine
4 medium carrots chopped small
dozen sprouts chopped small
1 leek chopped fine
2 cloves garlic sliced fine
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin Borlotti beans drained
Jar Pesto = 1 tbsp.
Chicken stock= 2 pints
Handful fresh parsley chopped fine
1 Bay leaf
splash of Wurze or Worcestershire sauce
Sharwoods Medium soft Noodles chopped small
Olive Oil
salt & pepper
Ok lets shread the meat.............
Soften the Onion, Celery,Sprouts,Carrots,Garlic,Bay leaf in some oil.....for 5 mins on a medium heat.
Stir in the tomatoes,Borlotti Beans,and stock then simmer the pan for about 20 mins till the carrots are just tender.
I like to add a few shakes of Wurze its a condiment that livens up soups and stews although Worcestershire sauce is fine...the herb flavour is
1 tbsp. of Basil Pesto plus some seasoning.
Remove the Bayleaf..................
If you enjoy a Thick soup, at this stage I take half the contents of the pan
and blitz it in a liquidizer and return it to the pan.
I don't know about you but Sharwoods medium Noodles chopped into small pieces are great for bulking out soups to go that bit further when theres more mouths to feed.....plus the cold shreaded meats.
Add them,give it a good stir and replace the pan lid for a further 5 mins.
season to taste.................
Serve in a large bowl with some chopped parsley,and tuck on in.
Enjoy
