Thai Turkey Noodle Soup
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 thumb worth fresh ginger, skin removed, grated
- 1 pound turkey
- 1/4 cup cilantro stems, chopped finely (save the leaves for garnish)
- 1-2 dashes fish sauce
- 1 dash sesame oil
- 2 limes, zested & juiced
- 6 cups low sodium chicken stock
- S&P, to taste
- 1/2 pound small pasta (eg. orecchiette)
- In a large Dutch oven (Le Creuset works perfectly! :)), heat olive oil on medium heat. Toss in onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and ginger. Sweat until tender, approx. 3 - 5 minutes. Add in the lime leaves and cilantro stems, and let permeate for a minute or so.
- Toss in the turkey and combine. Then add the fish sauce and sesame oil. Cover with chicken stock, bring to the boil and pop the lid on it. Reduce the heat and let lightly simmer until you're ready to serve (try for at least 30 minutes).
- Right before serving, add in the pasta and lime zest. Cook pasta until al dente, then add in chopped cilantro and lime juice. Taste and season with coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Serve hot.
