Turkey Pot Pie Soup

The last hurrah for the

Christmas Turkey!!

The bones were frozen and

today was the day for making

soup.

I added enough water to almost cover the bones,

seasoned with salt and pepper,

threw in a Bay leaf and simmered

for approx. 1 hour.

With slotted spoon scoop out the bones

and sieve the broth into a bowl.

Pick off any meat from the bones to add to 

the soup.

In a large pot,

brown some butter and add 

a diced onion, 

a Cup each of diced carrots and celery.

I also added some mushrooms

Cook and stir till onion is transparent.

Add 5-6 diced potatoes and 6 to 8 Cups of broth

Simmer till vegetables are tender.

Check for seasoning and add a dash or two of Cinnamon.

While soup is simmering make

the pot pie noodles:

1 Cup flour plus 1 tsp. salt mixed together

1 Large Egg whisked with 

1/2 egg shell full of water (approx. 2 Tbsp.)

Make a well in middle of flour and

add egg mixture - stir together until

you have a stiff dough.

Roll out the dough as thin as possible and 

cut into 1" squares.

Drop noodles into boiling chicken soup.

Cook for 10-15 minutes or until noodles are tender.

Enjoy .... hopefully there will be left-overs

because this soup tastes even better the 

next day!!

Till next time ...... watching Hockey Night in Canada?!
