Inspired by @Laredo I wanted to use up an excess of broccoli and leftover Christmas Turkey, so I made Cheddar Broccoli Turkey soup for dinner.
Ingredients as seen below:
Turkey stock
(Made from the bones and leftover gristly bits of the turkey. Seriously that stuff is culinary gold!). Throw them in a large pot, rough chop some celery, carrots, and onion, cover with water, pop on the lid and cook in your oven overnight at 190F. The next morning cool, strain, divine and either freeze or refrigerate. You know it’s done right if it gels in the fridge.
Leftover Turkey
Onions, celery, garlic
Butter and flour
Carrots & broccoli
Half and half
Cheddar cheese, Salt and Pepper
(Note: the two bowls top left are the scraps for the compost pile and the broccoli stems for the dogs. They love them!)
Caramelize onions and celery in butter, add flour to make a roux, cook a few minutes on low, then add stock all at once. Add minced garlic. Bring to low boil stirring frequently. Add a splash of half & half or cream, broccoli and carrots. Simmer 5 minutes. Add cheese. Simmer on low until veggies are tender.
