Total preparation time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:
- 1 turkey wing (500-600 g)
- 2 carrots
- 2 onions
- 1 parsnip
- 1-2 potatoes (preferably starchy varieties)
- 1 bell pepper (any color)
- 1 tomato (or 2 tablespoons of tomato paste)
- 1 cube/tsp chicken concentrate
- 1 liter borscht (or magic borscht)
- 2 tablespoons rice
- 3 tablespoons oil (sunflower or olive)
- 1-2 teaspoons sugar
- 100 g fresh spinach leaves
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon flour (optional)
- 1 bunch of fresh lovage
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Washing and preparing the meat: Start by washing the turkey wing well under cold running water. This will remove impurities and ensure a clean taste for the soup. Place the meat in a large pot with 3 liters of cold water and add a little salt. This first step is essential for flavoring the soup.

2. Boiling the meat: Bring the water to a boil. When the water starts to boil, remove the foam that forms on the surface with a skimmer. This will ensure a clear and appetizing soup. Let it simmer on low heat, covered, for about 20 minutes.

3. Preparing the vegetables: Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion, carrots, parsnip, bell pepper, and tomato. Cut the potatoes into larger cubes, so they can be felt in the soup. These vegetables will add not only flavor but also a pleasant texture to your soup.

4. Adding the vegetables to the soup: After 20 minutes, add the prepared vegetables to the pot, along with the oil, sugar, and rice. The rice will help thicken the soup and give it a pleasant consistency. Let it simmer for another 20 minutes on low heat.

5. Adding the borscht: It's time to enrich the soup with borscht. You can use boiling borscht or magic borscht, which will add a tangy note. Add half a liter of water if you want a less concentrated soup. Let it boil for another 5 minutes.

6. Preparing the spinach scraps: Wash the spinach leaves well and chop them finely. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped spinach with the eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. This combination will create the scraps that will add an interesting texture to the soup.

7. Adding the scraps: When the soup starts to boil again, turn the heat to low and add a little cold water to prevent the scraps from coagulating too quickly. Use a spoon to add the spinach mixture to the soup in irregular shapes. Let it boil for 3-4 more minutes, so the scraps cook well.

8. Serving: Finally, sprinkle chopped lovage on top to add extra flavor. This soup is served hot, alongside a slice of fresh bread, perhaps even with a dollop of sour cream if you desire an even creamier taste.

Practical tips:
- Chicken variant: If you can't find turkey wing, you can confidently use chicken meat. The taste will be different, but the soup will remain just as delicious.
- Varied vegetables: You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini or celery, to enhance the flavor and add more nutrients.
- Borscht: If you prefer a less sour soup, you can reduce the amount of borscht added or add the juice of a lemon at the end for a fresh note.

Nutritional benefits:
Turkey wing soup with spinach scraps is a balanced meal, rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Spinach is an excellent source of iron, and the vegetables provide a considerable amount of fiber, essential for healthy digestion.

Frequently asked questions:
- How long can the soup be stored? The soup can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days, but the flavor will intensify as it cools.
- Can the soup be frozen? Yes, but it is recommended not to add the spinach scraps before freezing. You can add them after thawing.

Serving suggestions:
This soup pairs perfectly with a freshly baked homemade bread or a serving of polenta. Additionally, a pale beer or a dry white wine will perfectly complement the meal.

Enjoy the comforting aroma and taste of this delicious soup, which is sure to bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones! Enjoy your meal!
