Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 g brown onion chopped very small
  • 100 g celery chopped very small
  • 100 g carrots finely grated
  • 1 bayleaf
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or fresh oregano or dried oregano
  • 1 garlic clove minced, grated or ground
  • 1.5 litres water
  • 350 g turkey breast in filets or a whole piece
  • 6 tbsp whipping cream
  • 200 g small pasta shape or cous cous
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 large swiss chard leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat a pot over medium heat and add the olive oil, onion, celery, carrot, bayleaf and thyme. Add also a pinch of salt to help them cook a bit faster.
  • Stir constantly for 10-15 minutes, letting the sofrito sweat and soften. Then let it become slightly golden.
  • Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds for it to cook.
  • Add the water and the turkey. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat until you have a gentle simmer. This makes the turkey stay tender.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the turkey and shred it. Don't worry if it needs a bit more cooking, it will return to the soup.
  • Add the pasta and let it cook until al dente.
  • Return the turkey to the pot and correct the level of salt and pepper.
  • Add the cream and bring everything to a stronger boil.
  • Add the swiss chard, stir for 20 seconds and stir immediately.
