Blazen and Bold. Why, turkey soup is often boring. Something to leave alone altogether. Perhaps. But this version changes direction. Or at least that’s the way it otta be.
And a bowl will have you bursting into flames! In fact, it’s often the best way to ride out a chilly night on the prairie. Because it’s the perfect cure. Universally present with vital vigor. Instead of boring, it’s the code of causation…
bLazen SOUP LIST
Turkey: 1-2 lbs. ground
Red Onion:1 medium chopped
Garlic: 3 cloves minced
Barley: ¼ cup
HABANERO Infused Tomatoes
Chicken or Turkey Broth: 1 box
V-8: 1 can or 12 oz.
Celery: ¼ cup chopped
Preparation
*A day before marinate fresh tomatoes with some fresh HABANERO peppers to infuse a delicious flavor.
Then in large pot/Dutch oven brown ground turkey over medium heat until no pink remains, about 4 minutes. Then add the onion and garlic until translucent about 4 minutes.
Next add the hot marinated tomatoes, broth, and celery. Then simmer on medium for 10 minutes or until celery is tender.
In the mean-time cook barley according to package. Then add to pot.
Next add V-8.
Finally bring back to slow boil for 5 minutes stirring often. Then simmer uncovered 30 minutes stirring occasionally. You should have a nice thick texture. But you can thin if desired.
BLAZEN TURKEY NOTES
Blazen soups are brazen. Because they are the example. And you use things that you otherwise shouldn’t. HABANERO! And preparing them is not weird brain surgery. So, don’t go there. But we are going to give some hot notes to get you through this recipe. NOT HARD! And this soup will give you heat smarts and sweat upon the brow!
In fact, this soup might be slighted by most cooks in America. Perhaps because cooks and gourmets simply dismiss it as hard to digest. Or simply old school cooking observed, yet not defined. But our prairie natives ate and cooked just about everything in order to survive. Sometimes even a HABANERO or two?
But today we’re going extreme: turkey scraps and hot peppers. So, get brazen. Because prairie weird is what this soup is about.
Weird remedy, perhaps. Very hot tomatoes, certainly. In fact, some mixtures make things worse. But in this case one only has to leave things to a more natural course. And a bit of moral influence when entertaining guests.
This bLazen combination will never leave you off-duty again…
I NEVER MET A BLAZEN SOUP I DIDN’T LIKE.
