Mexican Lime With Chicken or Turkey Tortilla Soup image

I love this soup. simple but great flavor to start off a Mexican meal. Adjust the hotness to your own likeing. Although the original recipe did not say "cilantro" I believe at least a 1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilntro will really enhance the flavor of this soup.

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 leftover turkey carcass
3 quarts of water, or more to completely cover turkey
4 cups uncooked egg noodles
...........................
seasonings:
2 bay leaves
3 teaspoons chicken granules
4 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons marjoram
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
..........................
vegetables:
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 large onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
4 carrots, diced
1/2 can small green chilis chopped
..........................
monterey jack cheese
green onions, chopped fine
garnishes:
sour cream
...........................
serve with my spanish cornbread (posted on this site)

Steps:

  • 1. PREPARE THE MEAT FIRST: Remove and discard the skin of the turkey. This way, you will not have excessive amounts of grease in your soup. Place all the turkey meat AND the bones in a large stock pot. Cover with approximately 3 quarts of water, making sure all the turkey is covered at least an inch over the meat. Turn the burner on high, when the soup boils, reduce to medium heat.
  • 2. THE SEASONINGS: Add the seasonings to the pot, bay leaves, chicken granules, taco seasoning, oregano, marjoram, red pepper flakes, cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
  • 3. THE VEGETABLES: Add the vegetables to the pot: parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, celery, carrots, and green chilis. Bring the soup back to a boil, and then cover and lower to simmer. Simmer for an hour and a half to two hours, or until the meat falls off the bones.
  • 4. REMOVE THE BONES: Place the collander in a second large pot and pour the soup in it. Be careful, it is hot! Remove and discard the bones. Return all the broth back to the first stock pot and turn the burner on medium high. (if you feel you want more liquid, then add a can of chicken broth) Add the cooked meat and vegetables back to the broth. When the broth comes to a boil, add the egg noodles and cook until done. Serve with garnishes of grated jack cheese, chopped green onions and dollops of sour cream. Serve with my Spanish cornbread recipe on this site. Enjoy!

MEXICAN TURKEY SOUP (CALDO DE GUAJOLOTE)



Mexican Turkey Soup (Caldo De Guajolote) image

I saw this in Ken Haedrich's "Soup Makes the Meal" and thought it would make good use of the turkey broth and meat we had left from Thanksgiving. It is a delicious soup! I am posting the original recipe which can easily be doubled and the seasonings can be increased or lessened to meet your family's tastes. To reduce the fat I simmered the veggies in broth and omitted the oil. I added extra of each of the veggies and also a diced zucchini. Delicioso!

MEXICAN TURKEY SOUP



Mexican Turkey Soup image

This is a great alternative to customary turkey soup. You can make it as spicy as you want depending on how much jalapeno membrane is used. I make a huge pot of it after every turkey I roast. The first time I made this I felt there was something missing, it needed to be creamy. So, a dollop of cream was all it needed. It's good...
