15 Bean Turkey Soup Food

15-BEAN TURKEY SOUP

Steps:

• Sauté onion in butter in a large pot or Dutch oven for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, chicken broth, beans (with included seasoning packet) then stir well. Add turkey pieces to pot then heat over medium-high heat until simmering. Once simmering, cover pot then reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 hours. Remove turkey pieces from pot, cover tightly and set aside. Continue cooking beans for 1-2 more hours or until beans are tender. Taste for seasoning and add salt if desired. Depending on which sort of turkey you're using, there's a good bit of variance in salt needed. You may not need any at all. Remove meat from turkey pieces, discarding skin and bones. Shred turkey into bite-sizes pieces using two forks then add turkey to beans. Stir well. Remove from heat, cover, and let soup rest for 30 minutes before serving. Notes: You can use roasted, fried or smoked turkey wings or legs. I used 4.5 lbs of wing sections. When I say 2 wings, I mean 2 full wings; each including the drummette and the wingette (or 'flat'). Or you could think of it as 4 wing sections. I actually prefer the 2-bone section as it has whiter, more tender meat. You can also use 4 cups chopped leftover turkey meat instead of the wings or legs. Just stir it in 1-2 hours before the soup is done (don't let it cook the whole time or it will get dry). Yes, you can cook this in a crock pot! Cook the same way replacing the 4 hours on the stove with 6 hours on high in the crock pot. If you can't find Hurst's 15 Bean Soup in your market, please ask your grocer for them. Until then, you can order them online :)

15 BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Wash the beans; put in large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil; stir and remove from heat. Cover and let sit 1 hour. After that hour, drain beans and set aside.
• Add oil to pot. Sauté your ham hocks, onion, and celery until tender.
• Next add garlic and sauté 2 minutes more.
• Add your beans and cover with water (about 2 inches over top of beans).
• Add tomatoes with the juice, parsley, rosemary, black pepper, bouillon cubes, and about 1 teaspoon of salt to start with.
• Mix well. Bring to boil; stir, reduce heat cover and simmer for 2 to 21/2 hours or until all the sizes of the beans are tender.
• Keep watching it and stirring it every once in a while. You may need to add more water; you want it to keep a consistency a little thicker than a soup.
• Taste it after it cooks--you may need more salt or pepper.
• During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the flavor package that comes with the beans.
• Serve by itself or over rice.

TURKEY, VEGETABLE, AND BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• In large stock pot, place carrot chunks, turkey carcass, onion, celery, parsley sprigs, bay leaf, thyme, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered for one hour.
• Remove turkey carcass from soup. When cool enough to handle, pick off turkey scraps and refrigerate scraps. Strain broth into a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove broth from refrigerator and skim fat with a large spoon. Discard fat.
• In stock pot, melt butter (I use olive oil). Add carrot and leek slices; cook 5 minutes. Stir in broth, turkey scraps plus additional chopped cooked turkey if desired, beans, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper and cook until heated through.
