1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook turkey leg soup? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. If the drumstick is frozen, then remove it from the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature for several hours to thaw. Vegetables - onions, carrots and potatoes, peel and rinse in running water to remove dirt.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the drumstick in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. When boiling, foam will form, which must be removed. Boil the drumstick in boiling water for an hour. Then remove the drumstick from the water and separate the meat from the bone. Return the meat back to the broth, bring to a boil and add the chopped potatoes. Cook everything together for 10-15 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the potatoes are boiling, grate the carrots on a medium grater and finely chop the onion.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat the frying pan until hot, pour a little vegetable oil on it and add chopped vegetables - onions and carrots. Fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the finished frying to the pan with the soup. Add a little salt and spices to taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add vermicelli at the end of cooking and cook for another 3-5 minutes. It cooks very quickly, but you shouldn’t overcook it, otherwise the vermicelli will boil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Remove the finished soup from the heat. If desired, you can add a little chopped dill. It pleasantly complements the aroma of the finished soup.

7. STEP 7

Turkey drumstick soup is not difficult to cook, but it turns out to be a very tasty and satisfying first course. I had all the necessary ingredients. I prepared the soup from three liters of water. The drumstick was cooked for a little over an hour. I took three potatoes. I didn’t measure the vermicelli, I added it to the soup by eye. The soup turned out wonderful: rich, aromatic, with a rich and bright taste. It seems to me that it turned out much richer with turkey broth than with chicken broth. The whole family was satisfied. Julia, thank you very much for the recipe!

My children love white soups, but they are not so easy to diversify. Turkey soup solves the issue of variety. In addition, turkey is well suited for baby food, and all adults benefit from this meat. And it is easily digestible and satisfying at the same time. I prepared everything according to the recipe. And I fried it so that the carrots would give color to the broth. The soup turned out to have a mild, pleasant taste) The children ate it with great pleasure. Now I will introduce this soup into our diet. Next time I’ll have to try it with rice, it’ll give you a new taste. Thanks for the recipe! I recommend turkey soup to everyone as a dietary meal, or just for fun!
