Tomatillo Soup

Food Network Magazine has some great recipes in this months issue! I altered their recipe for Tomatillo Soup to fit my family's tastebud!

Tomatillo Soup

1 lb turkey breast, braised

1 med carrot, 1" pieces

1 med parsnip, 1" pieces

3 green onions, 1" pieces

1 red pepper, 1" pieces

5 small red potatoes, thinnly sliced

3t fresh parsley

3t fresh cilantro

2t cumin

1t chili powder

3/4c salsa verde

6c chicken or veg stock

Once you've braised turkey, put all ingredients in pot and let simmer until potatoes and carrots are cooked through. Garnish with fresh herbs and dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt!

James even said he loved that it tasted very fresh!  Salsa verde is salsa made with tomatillos, sometimes hard to find in "mild." However, when I make this again I will make my own using this recipe.

Salsa Verde

12 tomatillos, roasted, then diced

1 med spanish onion, diced

1c fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 lemon, squeezed for juice

Salt and pepper

For heat: jalpeno or serrano pepper (but I don't add this because of kiddos)

Pulse in food processor. Do a little research on roasting tomatillos!
