Recipe: Turkey Wild Rice Soup

Turkey Wild Rice Soup

Our friend, Brandie, made this soup for us for Sunday lunch.  It is a tasty way to use up your leftover holiday turkey. 

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), cubed

2 carrots, finely chopped

2 celery ribs, finely chopped

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup flour

4 cups chicken or turkey broth

2 cups cooked wild rice

2 cups cooked turkey (bite-size pieces)

2 cups half & half

1 tsp diced parsley

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

*I would add garlic and more seasonings to this recipe.

(Boil carcass to debone turkey and make turkey broth.)

Melt butter over medium-high heat.  Add carrots, celery, and onions - cook until tender.  Stir in flour until blended, and cook until bubbly.  Add turkey broth gradually, whisk, and bring to a boil stirring constantly.

Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes until thickened.  Stir in the remaining ingredients and return to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes stirring occasionally.  Stir in rice at the last.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
