First put on some music you like to cook too. Today I was listening to Johnny Cash.
Start off with either turkey or chicken. Both taste the same once they are in soup anyway. I just covered it in tin foil and place it in the oven until it was cooked through
Soup basics. Carrots, Onions and Potatoes
Garlic
Slice up the onions and cook them until soft in bacon grease. We save ours in a glass jar in the fridge
I use a garlic press but mincing your garlic is allowed
Toss it in with your onions
Add some Thyme
Cook that stuff up until the onions are caramelized and everything smells like a bit of heaven
Peel and slice up your carrots
Peel and dice up your potatoes
Make about 8 cups of broth and dump it into the potatoes and carrots
Dump the onion mixture into the potatoes and carrots
Ta Da
Cook on medium until the carrots and potatoes are soft
At this point the turkey/chicken was finished so I chopped it up and added it to the vegetables which I had dumped into the crock-pot
Give everything a good stir and this is what you will end up with. You can add a dash of heavy cream to each bowl to make it creamy but it is lovely just this way too.
