Number Of Ingredients 11

6 lbs turkey breast (It should have some meat remaining on it to make a good rich soup(at least 2 cups))
2 medium onions
3 stalks celery
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 lb Italian pastina or 1/2 lb pasta

Steps:

Place turkey breast in a large 6-quart pot. Cover with water, at least 3/4 full.
Peel onions, cut in large pieces, and add to pot. Wash celery stalks, slice, and add to pot also.
Simmer covered for about 2-1/2 hours.
Remove carcass from pot. Divide soup into smaller, shallower containers for quick cooling in the refrigerator.
After cooling, skim off fat.
While soup is cooling, remove remaining meat from turkey carcass. Cut into pieces.
Add turkey meat to skimmed soup along with herbs and spices.
Bring to a boil and add pastina.
Continue cooking on low boil for about 20 minutes until pastina is done. Serve at once or refrigerate for later reheating.
