This is the original recipe from my local newspaper. I made some adjustments, which I will note. BUT, it is absolutely delicious, and used up every last drop of turkey that was left on the carcass!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1-3/4 cups water
2 cups instant (10 minute) brown rice
{I didn't use any rice at all}
****
1 tsp vegetable oil {I sprayed the pan with Pam instead}
1 cup frozen chopped onions
1 bag (8 ounces) cole slaw mix {I didn't have any, so I skipped this part}
2 tsp bottled minced garlic
{I added about a cup of match-stick carrots, too)
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) fat-free chicken broth
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes seasoned with garlic & onions
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 can (15 ounces) mixed vegetables
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1-1/2 cups (about 8 ounces) chopped leftover turkey meat (no skin)
Bring the water to a boil in a 2-quart or larger pot. When the water boils, stir in the rice and return the pot to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir. Cover and let the rice stand until the soup is ready.
Meanwhile, heat the oil on medium in a 4-1/2 quart or larger pot. Add the onions and cook stirring, until just defrosted, 30 seconds. Add the cole slaw mix and garlic. (this is when I added the carrots}. Raise the heat to high and cook 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to med-low. Rinse and drain the canned vegetables. Add the vegetables, corn and chopped turkey to the pot. Simmer 5 minutes or until ready to serve.
To serve, put equal portions of rice in the serving bowls. Spoon the soup over the rice and serve at once. Serves 6.
Now, since I didn't use the rice, and didn't use the oil, the only "real" points for this soup are in the turkey and corn. I'm counting 2 points per serving, though I really don't think it's that much.
Enjoy!
Opps...just remembered I also added 2 stalks of chopped celery to it!
