JBug's Kitchen Antics: Foul Weather Fowl Soup

Foul Weather Fowl Soup

I can't take credit for the title because you know who came up with it, but I will take credit for the pot of soup. Is there anything better when the rain and wind are blowing sideways than a big bowl of the stuff?

This one's a combination of chicken and turkey along with the usual onions and carrots. I had every intention of adding parsnip to the mix but decided to follow the "kiss" rule instead. Sorry, it doesn't look pretty but it sure did taste good.

Should you be searching for a "fowl" soup that's a little different from the usual veggie/rice version, you could always try one of the following. They're all really something to crow about.
