Sore Mouth Soup

"Having had a lot of dental work done around here lately, I was constantly coming up with new soups. This is a nice comforting soup; start out by simmering the turkey legs in broth with some cloves added; then add meat to the rest of the soup. If you can't find fideos, you can use thin spaghetti broken into 1 or 2-inch lengths. And, about an hour of the cook time is represented by the cooking of the drumsticks to be used in the soup."

directions

  • Simmer turkey drumsticks in chicken broth with whole cloves until cooked through and very tender, about an hour.
  • Degrease, strain and reserve broth to use for the rest of the soup, or save for a different soup later (I find that the cloves flavor the turkey enough that I don't use the broth for this soup; but it's rich and delicious used in any other soup).
  • Remove turkey from the bones and shred.
  • In a large soup pot, saute onions, garlic and mushrooms in olive oil; do not brown.
  • Add chicken broth, thyme, nutmeg and turkey meat; simmer together for 30 minutes.
  • Remove 1/2 cup of soup broth from the pan in a small bowl; whisk dissolve the 2 tablespoons of flour in the hot broth and return to the soup pot.
  • In the meantime, cook the fideos in 1-1/2 cups of water until done (following package directions); drain fideos, adding their cooking water to the soup.
  • Simmer another 30 minutes, then add fideos and heat through, about another 15 minutes or until soup is thickened slightly.
