If your spoon won’t stand up in it, is it even soup, bro?
#CookingIsMyTherapy #FoodIsFamily

A bowl of leftover turkey and tortellini soup with garden-fresh mustard greens. Like always, it started with a picked-over turkey carcass thrown into the slow cooker with some celery tops, chopped onion, garlic, a dried Tabasco pepper, and some poultry seasoning and Italian herbs. Cooked on low all day. When I got home I strained out all the chunks and sorted them. Bones and most of the skin get tossed, cartilage and some of the skin get swallowed hot- good for my joints and scars- and all the shreds of meat and bits of softened veg go back into the soup and get hit with the immersion blender until it’s all pretty smooth. Then I grab a stock pot and throw in whatever leftover turkey meat we have- usually breast, because we eat the dark meat by preference- chopped into bite size chunks, accompanied by chopped onion and garlic, more seasoning and red pepper flakes. That sat in the fridge overnight. This morning I pulled the pot and set it on the stove, slowly coming up to a boil. Added chopped mustard greens (kale or spinach work well, too) and a quart of stock. Once the mustard started to get soft I added a bag of tortellini and went to set the table to stop myself from staring at the pot until it was ready.
