Soup for a cold day

When I got up this morning, it was 31 degrees.  I have to go teach a spinning class this afternoon... so I started thinking about what I wanted to cook for our main meal today.

Let's see, what's in the freezer?

Frozen ground turkey      


And we had this too...

Frozen broccoli, peppers and corn

I also had some dried procini mushrooms...  Yummy.

So, here my "top of my head" recipe for today's soup.

Turkey tomato bisque

1 pound frozen ground turkey
1 pound frozen broccoli, corn and peppers
1 8oz container of sour cream
1 2oz container of dried procini mushrooms
2 8 oz cans petitte tomatoes with garlic and olive oil
basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt and black pepper to taste

I browned the turkey in a dutch oven.  Meanwhile, I soaked the dried mushrooms in warm water.  Once the turkey was completely cooked, I added all the remaining ingredients except the sour cream.  I brought all this to a boil.  Once it had boiled, I lower the temperature to a simmer and added the sour cream.

Of course, I had to have a small bowl to make sure it was seasoned correctly.  It was.

It was served with garlic bread.  And we had a happy lunch!
