Soup's On! 11/24/2007
 Yep, it's a turkey carcass, and it smells soooo good. I volunteered to de-bone the turkey from our family dinner if I could take home the bones for soup. I've got two pots on at the same time. I'll strain them, and stick 'em in the fridge overnight so I can skim off the fat. It gives me secret pleasures to see the leftover gelatinous goodness still in the pot waiting to become a complete soup. You want to know the secret ingredient in my favorite stock? Leeks....they add a yummy, oniony depth that just oozes homemade. Ok, so it's not so secret, but it's a staple stock ingredient in our house.

Before I even knew you had blogged about it!!! I bet it turned out great!! Camee Sun, 25 Nov 2007 22:33:57 My dad was throwing out the carcass and I said, "No, wait Dad! We can make soup with that! (He wasn't too impressed with that as he's not much of a turkey soup fan, by my mom and I are.) So he saved it for me, but my problem is what to do now. You know me - I'll bake, YOU cook. So, my kitchen-saavy friend, what exactly do I do? (Yes, I'd rather ask you than simply go look in a cookbook. You're more fun! And I'm sure a lot yummier.) Could you leak me the entire leaky leak recipe? I love you and miss cooking with you... and eating what you cook! And hey - I've got a great recipe for some chocolate turkey brownies I could send you... Just kidding. : ) HUGS! joey Mon, 26 Nov 2007 08:47:32 oh lisa, you have no idea how much i miss cooking with you, my mom has promised me that we will have pozole and tortillas for christmas eve dinner and i got so excited. that soup looks heavenly, you have a lucky lucky family with cooking like that! te quiero mucho, joey Leave a Reply |  LisaA sneak peek into the life of a stay-at-home mama.
