Day 6 Challenge

Boiled the bones of yesterdays Roasted Turkey. Made a wonderful pot of Turkey stock ( approximately1 1/2 gallons). Chopped up Leeks, carrots garlic and peppers from our garden. Added a Home canned jar of green beans and some frozen corn.
Spices: 1 tsp thyme, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp marjoram  1 tsp rosemary
Now for the best part:


Homemade noodles:  1cup of flour, 2 eggs mix, knead (a lot) until dough is very smooth and not sticky you may need to add more flour as you knead. Let dough rest for 15 minute (your arms will need a break also) Roll out dough as thin as possible. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter cut you pasta into strips. Drop in  soup broth. cook at a rolling boil for 3 minutes.


The great thing about the pasta is you can make a  double or triple batch and refrigerate or freeze it for another time.


Note: any time you have a roasted Chicken or Turkey don't forget to cook down the bones to make the best stock for soups.


This huge pot of soup cost so little to make. A great soup to take to a sick friend. They may not want to get well in hopes that you will bring them more soup.
