Title: Turkey Soup
Post by: jen1975 on April 03, 2011, 08:38:15 PM

Hi Umpa,
  I'd love your input on my soup I made this evening.
     Boiled down 1 turkey carcass and picked clean bones (about 1-1/2c meat) then used the broth for the soup.
     1/4 large onion, finely diced
     3 celery stalks, sliced
     12 oz sliced mushrooms
  I coarse grated about 1/2 a small zucchini into my bowl and poured the soup over it.  This made easily 4 servings, maybe more.  Are there any suggestions you can make for lowering carbs?  I know onions are higher, but I think the flavor is important and I didn't use very much.  Oh yeah, and it tasted fabulous since here in Colorado we went from 84 yesterday to 32 today! ???  Gotta love spring in Colorado!

LOL Jo,
  I usually did French Bread with soup, cornbread with chili - dunno if that's a western thing or not!
