This is the very first recipe I truly developed on my own. It came from really wanting soup one day and only having leftover thanksgiving turkey to use along with some pantry staples.
Ingredients List:
- 3 Tbs olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 5 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons of berbere or more if you like it spicier
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 Tbs ketchup
- 1 Tbs salt
- 1 Pound cooked shredded turkey
1 ½ cups hot water
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 15 ½ oz can kidney beans, not drained
- 15 ½ oz can pinto beans, not drained
- 2, 28 oz Cans of stewed tomatoes, one drained, one with juice
- 2 Tbs lemon juice
Directions:
- In a large pot (I use a dutch oven) combine olive oil and chopped onion on medium heat and
cook until caramelized
- In separate bowl, dissolve beef bouillon in water
- Add garlic, berbere, oregano, and salt to pot. Stir, and cook until fragrant
- Add ketchup, water mixture, and turkey to pot and stir 6. Add both cans of stewed tomatoes, draining one before adding
- Add Pinto beans, kidney beans, and lemon juice, stir to combine 8. Bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes
