Indulge in the wholesome goodness of our Low-Fat Homemade Turkey Soup, a comforting bowl of warmth that’s not only rich in flavor but also mindful of your health. To create this popular soup with reduced saturated fat, we recommend preparing it ahead of time, allowing it to cool, and effortlessly skimming off any excess fat that gracefully rises to the top.

Ingredients:

• 6 turkey breast slices
• 2 onions, peeled and cut into large pieces
• 3 celery stalks, washed and sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup pasta (pastina)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Foundation:

   • Place the turkey breast slices in a generously sized 6-quart pot.
   • Cover the turkey with water, ensuring it’s at least 3/4 full.

2. Infuse Aromatics:

   • Peel the onions, cut them into large pieces, and add them to the pot.
   • Wash the celery stalks, slice them, and toss them into the pot as well.

3. Simmer to Perfection:

   • Allow the ingredients to simmer, covered, for approximately 2 and a half hours.

4. Carve and Cool:

   • Remove the turkey carcass from the pot with care.
   • Divide the soul-warming soup into smaller, shallower containers, facilitating a quick cooling process in the refrigerator.

5. Skim the Goodness:

   • After cooling, skillfully skim off any residual fat that may have surfaced during the cooling phase.

6. Unveil the Turkey’s Essence:

   • While the soup gracefully cools, meticulously remove any remaining succulent meat from the turkey carcass. Cut it into delectable pieces.

7. Spice it Up:

   • Introduce the tantalizing turkey meat into the now lean and flavorsome soup.
   • Sprinkle in the aromatic dried thyme, rosemary, sage, basil, marjoram, tarragon, and the perfect pinch of salt.

8. Bring it to Life:

   • Bring the soup to a lively boil, awakening the symphony of flavors within.

9. Pasta Perfection:

   • As the soup dances in the pot, add the pastina, allowing it to soak up the essence of the broth.
   • Continue the culinary symphony on a low boil for approximately 20 minutes until the pastina achieves perfection.
