Day 11: Post a recipe. Or if you don't cook, try a new recipe and write about how it turned out.
OK, so if any of you know me very well, I don't cook. I love to bake, though, and do it fairly often. But, I figured I would share one of the few things I actually make. It's a recipe I stole from my mom, and it's something I always loved growing up.
Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not have an idea of exact measurements for the ingredients, because I kind of just wing it :).
Turkey Cabbage Soup
1 pound of ground turkey
1 (or 2) 48 oz containers of tomato juice
1 head of cabbage, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
3 or so carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 (or 2) beef bouillon cubes
salt and pepper
chili powder
So this is SUPER easy to make, but tastes like you worked on it for hours!
1. Cook the turkey in skillet until fully cooked. You can add seasoning if you want, but it's not needed.
2. Mix the tomato juice, cabbage,celery, carrots, onion, and turkey into a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. You can also add the seasoning now, but I just add the bouillon cubes first and wait on the rest.
3. After the soup is at a boil, turn it down to a medium heat and let it cook for about 20-30 min. Or, until the vegetables are soft and cooked thoroughly. Turn down the heat to low, and start added your seasonings. I'd taste the soup first before adding any salt, because the bouillon cube is full of it! I add about a 2 teaspoons of chili powder. It gives it a good amount of spice, and a bit of a kick! And a small amount of pepper.
And that is basically the entire recipe. Simple, right? Here are a few more tips for making it:
Sometimes I will also add some hot sauce, my favorite is Tapatio. But beware, hot sauce AND chili powder can be intense.
Also, start with half a head of cabbage, and see if it is enough. There is nothing worse than a soup that tastes like cabbage and nothing else. Unless you are just a really big fan of cabbage.
There you have it. The most simple soup in the world, but it tastes amazing, and is pretty healthy. It is great topped with a small amount of cheese, and some bread. I unfortunately don't have any picture of the soup, so you will have to use your imagination for that one!
Ok, until next time!
