Bonnies Ultimate Taco Soup With Homemade Chips Recipes

Steps:

• MAKE THE SOUP STOCK FIRST: Add garlic, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper, and bay leaves to the kettle with the turkey carcass. Slowly bring to a boil; skim foam. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours. Leave broth in the kettle. Discard bay leaves. Remove carcass; set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove turkey from bones; discard bones. Cut turkey into bite-size pieces; set aside.
• MAKE THE SOUP: Saute onion, carrot, celery in a large skillet until vegetables are tender, add the garlic. Add a splash of wine to the pan and transfer the veggies to the soup kettle into the stock. Bring the soup to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until almost tender, then add the reserved turkey and frozen peas. Simmer until noodles and peas are tender and serve.
• COOK'S TIP: Grandma's noodles are our preference if they can be found. We get ours at Smith's or Walmart. Wide egg noodles are the second noodle choice. Corn dumplings may also be used instead of noodles. Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Wash, peel and chop the potatoes, carrots, and celery.
• 2. In a large, deep skillet, fry the chopped bacon until brown, and reserve 2 TBSP of the grease to make a roux.
• 3. Saute the potatoes, onion, celery and carrots in the remaining grease in the skillet until the onion is translucent. Drain and spoon the vegetables out of the skillet and set aside. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Heat the skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of bacon grease and 2 tablespoons of butter. When a pinch of flour makes the oil bubble, Stir in 4 tablespoons of flour and make a simple roux. Let it bubble for a couple of minutes, or until it starts to turn a very light brown.
• 4. My substitute for All Purpose Flour is My Kitchen Flour and consists of equal parts of these four flours: MY KITCHEN FLOUR Brown rice flour, superfine cornstarch potato starch tapioca flour
• 5. Using a whisk, add the 4 cups of chicken stock, slowly to the roux.
• 6. Return the pre-cooked vegetables to the skillet and add the seasonings: basil, celery powder, garlic powder and the bay leaf, salt and pepper. Stir the mixture.
• 7. Cook over medium low heat until the potatoes are about half done, about 20 minutes, then add the bacon, heavy cream and the parsley.
• 8. Simmer on lowest setting until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Check the seasoning to see if it needs more salt.
• 9. Remove the bay leaf and serve with crusty bread.
