TURKEY, VEGETABLE, & RICE SOUP


Tonight my fridge was full of vegetables & turkey one night away from spoiling, so I made a simple soup.  I didn’t take as many pictures as usual, because I didn’t plan on posting the recipe.  It came out pretty good, so I decided to share it.

INGREDIENTS
1-2 Tbsp
Olive oil
1
Large onion, diced
1
Large garlic clove, minced
1
Bell pepper, diced
3
Celery stalks, diced
3
Carrots, sliced
1
Zucchini, diced
½ cup
Dry (uncooked) brown rice
3
Turkey breast cutlets, cut in small pieces (uncooked)
5-6 cups
Water (or broth)
½
Lemon, juiced
1 tsp
Dried sage
½ tsp
Dried thyme
2-3
Bay leaves
to taste
Cayenne pepper
To taste
Salt (omit or reduce if using broth)

PREPARATION
1.  In a dutch oven or stock pot, sauté the onion, garlic & celery for 1-2 min, or until soft & translucent.
2.  Add the rest of the vegetables & mix to coat them well with oil.
3.  After about 2 minutes, add the dry brown rice & uncooked turkey breast.  Mix well & cook for about 2 minutes.
4.  Add the water, lemon sage, thyme, bay leaves, & cayenne pepper.   Bring to a boil, and then simmer about 40 minutes.  Add the salt last.  
 Enjoy!

  1. I make this basically same soup for my family - except I have never put lemon or sage in my soup - sounds like something to add! Thanks!
