It was a balmy 15 degrees here today, but once you factor in the wind you are looking at single digits- maybe even below zero. It's a good thing that soup was on the meal plan for tonight.
Last Sunday Matt made a turkey, so on Tuesday I put the bones in the crock pot with water and some seasonings- to begin creating a homemade turkey soup for this week's meal plan. (See I told you I plan ahead.) After the bones were done "cooking", I strained the whole mixture to save the broth, then picked all the meat out. The broth went in the fridge so I could skim off the fat, and the meat into the freeze so it didn't go bad.
Then Saturday morning I skimmed the fat from the broth, and put it back in the crock pot. Then I added chopped onions, chopped carrots, chopped celery, and chopped rutabaga. (The rutabaga wasn't planned, but I had one so I figured why not- it actually is really good too.) In the afternoon I added some wild rice, otherwise I just let the crock pot do it's thing on low all day. It creates a great aroma in the house.
So this is what it looks like...
My picture taking isn't getting any better, but Matt said the soup was awesome. Which is pretty good considering he normally won't go near celery.
Coming Soon...
The weekly half-marathon post will be up tomorrow night, and I'll hopefully be reviewing a movie for you this coming week.
