I finally demolished all evidence of thanksgiving this evening with a super easy dinner: chicken turkey soup. I had some chicken stock in the fridge from some leftover rotisserie chicken last week, so pretty much all I had to do was chop, throw in the pot, and bring to simmer/boil!
Ever since my friend from Mexico Angeles showed me, I loved to garnish my clear stock based soups with cilantro and red onion with a squeeze a lime to follow. It definitely brightens up the whole soup and cuts through any fattiness.
I started my soup with some jalapeno then added the cubed pieces of turkey leftover!
I sauteed the turkey + jalapeno mixture along with some sliced carrots...
Then in went the chicken stock (lazy version: rotisserie chicken bones, celery, onion, bay leaf).
For dessert, some gala apples with my fave: white chocolate wonderful PB. I bought another jar today at the store! I sense an obsession coming to surface. Oh, and I can’t wait to try the “Oats in a Jar” that’s been roamin’ around the food blog world quite q while now. YUM.
Despite the rumors of snow, it was so warm in Aspen today. Bad news for the skiers/snowboarders, good news for a non four-wheel drive owner: moi. Speaking in the French tongue reminds me how awesome of a glass of wine I’m having right now. It’s Folie a Deux’s Menage a Trios which is a mixture of Chardonnay, Mescato and Chenin Blanc. After a long week, I was definitely craving some wine to rewind with and I remembered this wine specifically from a few weeks back at my work when testing a few whites.
Ahhh with a satisfied tummy, and a yummy glass of wine with my puppy next to me...I can’t think of a better way to end my Saturday evening. I am going to sleep like a baby tonight.
