How to Make Jennie's Thai Coconut Vegetable Soup

I start most of my soups by making a broth ahead of time. I will tell you the porportions I use, roughly, and it always seems to turn into a giant pot.... so you can modify amounts if you need too.

The Broth:

2 fresh turkey necks

large pot of water, bring to boil

Skim off foam.

Reduce heat and simmer for several hours with lid on. Add any veggie trimmings lying around.

When meat is literally falling off the bones, strain it and put broth in fridge over night. Next day, skim off any fat off the top.

Soup:

chopped 1 sweet onion and saute til soft

add

1 -2 sticks of celery

1/2 red sweet pepper

saute more

Then add chopped

 1 potatoe

2 sweet potatoes(or yam)

1/2 butternut squash(or any squash like that)

2 carrots

1/2 cauliflower

stir around abit and add the broth til it covers all the veggies 

Add small can of chopped tomatoes (or fresh if you got extra lying around)

Simmer til potatoes are getting soft and then add some frozen veggies of your choice, corn, peas and green beans.

Then add one container of the "Helper Soup" bought at Costco: Happy Planets Thai Coconut Soup

Bring to boil, stir often. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve!

Happy cooking,
