Letter Thoup (Recipe: Turkey Alphabet Soup)

Ingredients

  • Use any combination of vegetables fresh or frozen. Fresh vegetables may be added directly to the soup raw, however, I prefer to saute before adding to the soup pot because of the added flavor caramelization brings to the party. I sauteed onions, sweet peppers, celery and carrots. The canned English peas require very little cook time and are added directly to the soup pot. The tiny little alphabet pasta requires very little cook time. It will continue to cook off the heat if there’s sufficient liquid in the pot. Add additional water or stock if necessary after the pasta has been added to the pot.
  • 6 quarts stock
  • 6 cups raw vegetables I used onions, sweet peppers, celery and carrots
  • olive oil
  • 4-1-1 seasoning
  • 4 cups cooked turkey diced
  • 1 15 ounce can English peas, drained (I use LeSuer very young small sweet peas)
  • 16 ounces alphabet pasta uncooked

Instructions

  • Place stock in a large soup pan and bring to a boil.
  • Saute fresh vegetables in olive oil until soft, about 10 minutes. Season. Add to boil stock. Cover. Reduce heat to a medium simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Add diced turkey, cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring heat back up to a rolling boil. Uncover and add pasta and English peas. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir and cover. Let sit for 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and serve.
