my soup can cure cancer

that’s right. I made the bombdiggity soup this weekend. 

Glenn scoffed when I said I wanted to save the turkey carcass from Thanksgiving. But that’s what I used to make the soup.

Take a turkey carcass. 

Roast @ 450 for 15 minutes in the oven. Transfer browned bones to a large stock/soup pot

Add 2 onions, a rib or two of celery - sautee these just a bit
6 cups chicken broth
3 cups white wine
simmer 1ish hour



strain the stock and throw out the icky stuff

to the now strained stock add:
1 cup wild rice mix (I toasted my rice with some butter a bit to break down the tougher outsides of the wild rice)
2 large carrots
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp baking soda (to help cook the wild rice quickly)

simmer for an hour until rice is done. Last 10 minutes of cooking add 3 cups of leftover turkey meat. I added a few handfuls of diced mushrooms I needed to use. 

Finally - stir in 1/4 cup flour into a cup of heavy cream. 
Add flour/cream mixture to the soup and cook until thickens. 10 minutes.

Kinda takes some time, but well worth the effort. 

because it cures m-f’n cancer.
