Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients:

- 500 g turkey ribs
- 2 carrots
- 1 parsley root
- 1 small celery
- 1/2 kohlrabi
- 1 handful of frozen peas
- 1 handful of frozen green beans
- 1 handful of frozen cauliflower
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 whole onion
- 1-2 leaves of fresh cabbage
- 1 potato
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Lovage (for flavor)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 egg yolk
- 200 ml sour cream
- Juice of one lemon
- Hot pepper (optional, for those who prefer a spicier taste)

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cleaning and washing all the vegetables. Cut the carrots, parsley root, celery, and kohlrabi into small cubes. It is important that the vegetables are cut evenly to cook at the same time.

2. Preparing the meat: Wash the turkey ribs well and portion them. Make sure to remove any excess fat to achieve a healthier soup.

3. Boiling the meat: Place the turkey ribs in a large pot, add cold water and a little salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. It is essential to skim the soup to remove impurities that form on the surface. Use a skimmer to remove the foam.

4. Adding the vegetables: Once the soup has boiled, add the whole onion, carrots, parsley, celery, and kohlrabi. Let the vegetables simmer over medium heat until they are almost tender, about 30 minutes.

5. Adding frozen vegetables: After the fresh vegetables are nearly cooked, add the frozen peas, green beans, and cauliflower. Let everything boil together for another 15 minutes. These frozen vegetables add texture and color to the soup without requiring extra cooking time.

6. Finishing the soup: Meanwhile, peel the potato and cut it into cubes. Add it to the pot along with the cabbage leaves. These will add a special flavor and extra nutrients.

7. Preparing the cream mixture: In a small bowl, beat the yolk with a little cold water and two tablespoons of sour cream. Add a ladle of hot soup to the cream mixture and stir well to temper the egg. This technique will prevent the egg from curdling in the soup. Pour the mixture over the soup and stir everything gently.

8. Adding acidity to the soup: Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the soup, adding a fresh taste and a note of acidity that will balance the rich flavors.

9. Serving: Once the soup is ready, season it with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh and colorful appearance. If you like a spicier taste, add a few finely chopped hot peppers.

Useful tips:

- Variations: You can use any vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini or bell peppers, to customize the recipe. You can also substitute turkey ribs with chicken or beef, depending on your preferences.
- Freezing: Turkey soup freezes very well. Once cooled, you can store it in individual portions for days when you don't have time to cook.
- Calories and nutritional benefits: This soup is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. A serving has about 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used. It is rich in fiber due to the vegetables, aiding digestion and maintaining a healthy diet.

Delicious combinations:

This soup pairs perfectly with a slice of fresh bread or steaming polenta. You can also accompany it with a summer salad with tomatoes and cucumbers for a complete lunch.

Turkey soup is not just a dish, but also a family story, bringing loved ones together at the table. Enjoy your meal!
