I’m on a soup kick because my husband will not eat soup unless its clam chowder or French Onion soup. At lunch is my chance to try something different. I’m still using up that leftover turkey but didn’t want to make exactly the same soup.
Today I grilled up the vegetables on the indoor grill. You could grill outdoors or sear in a hot skillet. Cast iron would work nicely, or maybe sear in a wok.
Put about 3cups turkey broth and as much turkey as you desire into a medium size saucepan. Salt and pepper to taste. Heat over medium heat.
The vegetables on the grill.
one small baby red sweet pepper
one small potato peel then quarter
one-fourth onion separate out the sections so they lay curve side down on the grill
one section of carrot about 5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide so that it stays on the grill
Cook until they get sear marks and begin to get tender. Then cut accordingly and add to the broth. Cut the cut into bite-size pieces and add to the broth. Remove the top of the pepper and seeds. Dice the onion and pepper and add to the soup. Lastly cut the carrot on a diagonal about 1/8 inch thick.
The soup will cook for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are completely tender. As the potatoes cook they will absorb broth so make sure to watch and add more broth as necessary. Mine cooked down so that it was a thickened broth. Add as much broth as you desire.
I thought I had enough soup that I wouldn’t be able to eat it all, but NO and ate every last drop. Though I did share a few bits with my Yorkie, Gismo. She liked the soup too.
