You can make turkey soup using fresh, raw turkey, or leftover cooked turkey. It's a great dish to make on the day after a turkey feast, at Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter.
Soup is light and sustaining, and makes a good light lunch, served with bread.
If you use leftover turkey in soup, you only need to simmer for 2-3 minutes, to heat through. If you start from scratch and use a chopped, raw turkey breast fillet then cook the soup for around 5-6 minutes. Don't let it simmer for too long, otherwise the turkey will turn rubbery.
Serves 4-6Chop one medium onion, and soften in a little oil, with 1 tsp paprika.
Add one large potato, peeled and chopped, and 900ml (4 cups) stock.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potato is nearly tender.
Skin and chop one turkey breast fillet, or 225g (8 oz) leftover cooked turkey and add to soup, simmer for a few more minutes until the turkey is cooked.
Allow to cool a little, then puree in a blender.
