Cream of Turkey Soup vs Beer and Wings vs Libya?

Okay where to start...
I know I missed writing a little something something, but I was so tired and thoughtless yesterday, that it would have been just a blank blog!

I did however make a delicious Cream of Turkey soup.  My Mom made a turkey that she had in her freezer since January and gave me lots of Turkey leftovers.  So I decided to make a soup.  Now I texted a picture of the finished product to a friend, *cough*cough*Neno*cough*, who said it looked bad, but I dont want to center that friend out *cough*Neno*cough*cough*.  It was so delicious though, that I thought I would share with my readers the recipe, a picture of the soup and a video testimonial of how good it was.


 Some Crusty bread to go with it...
and the video to prove it was delicious...
 So I bet you are sold on how good it is so I will share the recipe.

Joe Joe's Super Yummy Turkey Soup

4 strips of Bacon
4 Potatoes
1 Carrot
1 can of Corn
12 tbs of flour
2 cups of half and half
4 cups of chicken or turkey broth
1 cup of butter (yep I know its fattening)
Left over turkey cut into chunks
Salt, Pepper and Poultry Seasoning

First, I started with frying 4 strips of bacon, and I peeled 4 potatoes and 1 carrot, cut into chunks and I boiled them, but not too much.  Then I put the bacon on a paper towel and left it rest.
While the potatoes and carrots are boiling, its time to make the cream part of the soup.  Melt the butter in your soup pot (the one you are going to make the soup in) and add the flour.  Let the butter and flour cook a little bit while whisking, then whisk in the broth and then the half and half.  Add a dash salt and pepper and poultry seasoning.
Strain the potatoes and carrots and add to the cream broth.  Add the corn, cut the bacon, and add the cut up turkey.
Let simmer and enjoy!


Now on to Beer and wings.  I love beer and wings!  I think that if all the world leaders got together for beer and wings, the world would be at peace with each other!  There would be no war or hate for other nations.  Beer and wings is the solution people.  I bet Jesus, Buddha, and Allah probably had beer and wings together. So get out there and eat lots of wings and drink lots of beer and spread the word of Beer and Wing goodness!

I thought that I would quickly mention the people in Libya.  I don't really think I am educated enough to get in to get deal about them, but what I know is that they are protesting against Gadhafi, who is the ruler or leader, not really sure the word used for his position.  I have heard that he is actually crazy, real life crazy, clinically insane, coo coo, you get the picture.  I think the reason for the protest, is for a fair government to run their country, and not be under the rule of Gadhafi.  He even started bombing his own capital city and killing his own people.
Here, check out this link for more information, and please correct me if I am wrong.

So, signing off on this beautiful Friday night,
Joey

  3. So do you think that this soup will be your spring entry for SoupFest? It will go over well with Bryan having bacon in it.

    Also, good call with your verifable, credible source in the testimonial. Who can argue with a 2 year old?

    Ohhh, and we can begin a new Fest - Beer'n'Wing Fest. Everyone has to make their own wing sauce and select a beer to accompany them.
