Somewhat Chinese Smoked Turkey Noodle Soup


With the leftover Thanksgiving smoked turkey I made some stock and used it to invent a soup.

I simmered together:
  • broth from smoked turkey
  • onions
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • five spice powder
  • soy sauce
After a while I added:
  • carrots
After ten more minutes I added:
  • green onions
  • soba noodles, partially precooked
  • spinach
  • sesame oil
And I served it just like that. Leftover turkey meat would have been good, but we didn't have any.

That spinach looks beautiful floating in your soup. It sounds aromatic and flavorful.
