I hope everyone had a great day yesterday! My first Thanksgiving meal went perfectly! I didn’t overcook the bird, my mashed potatoes turned out great, my husband made an awesome stuffing, and we had a great time! Now, what to do with the leftovers! I have a lot of turkey leftover, so I am going to make this soup. Its from Gourmet Magazine, November from 2005. I’ve also made this by substituting the ravioli with no yolk noodles and its just as good!
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 6 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
- 2 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 9-ounce package fresh cheese ravioli
- 1 1/2 cups diced cooked turkey
- Grated Parmesan cheese
preparation
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, basil, fennel seeds and crushed red pepper and sauté until vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes. Add broth. Cover pot and simmer 10 minutes. Add zucchini and carrot. Cover and simmer until carrot is almost tender, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high and bring soup to boil. Add ravioli and boil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook just until heated through, about 1 minute. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle soup into bowls. Serve, passing cheese separately.
