Jeff’s recipe, our resident Soup Maestro, including his epic Garlic Parmesan Biscuits. But this one is a bit of a self depreciating post. I looked at the two recipes and thought that they looked familiar and realized that I’ve done a similar recipe a few times over the past month, but the recipe I’d started from didn’t call it Tuscan Soup so my Midwest brain didn’t make the connection until yesterday
This started when my wife browned a pound of ground Turkey instead of freezing it a few weeks before Thanksgiving and asked me to do something with it. Instead of usual taco seasoning I googled ground Turkey soup recipes and found one that looked like a good start, but they called it “Hearty ground turkey soup with vegetables” I tweaked it a bit and we enjoyed the flavors. Ironically some of the tweaks brought in traditional sausage seasonings.
So here it is, a healthier, Tuscanish Soup…..I think? Whatever it is, my wife loves it!
Ingredients:
Then the onions and shrooms, seasoned a bit!
And started throwing in the garlic and veggies from hard to soft, followed by the the dry spice to bloom a bit. My Turkey was browned and in the fridge, this has become leftover soup lately, so once veggies are ready threw in the Turkey!
Deglazed with wine, saved the fond this time! While that was coming to a simmer warmed up coconut milk with tarragon leaves in to infuse flavor a bit and poured it in. Threw in bay and thyme sprigs.
Then started dashing chipotle, splash of soy, and a bit of the white wine vinegar until it tasted right. Also a lot of Salt and some pepper.
Finally the bowls, topped with the reserved bacon.
Like I said, no Spinach in these due to wife's request, I’ll add some to my bowl tomorrow!
I can’t wait to try Brian and Jeff’s recipes! The Turkey is bland so I had to add a lot to liven it up! But, this was delicious and a favorite in our house now.
I appreciate your time!
