Bomb Diggity Duck Soup Recipes

HEARTY DUCK AND WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the duck into serving pieces. Crack the backbone in half lengthwise. Cut away and discard any peripheral fat from the duck pieces. Sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy kettle and add the duck pieces skin side down. Add as many pieces in one layer as the kettle will hold. Cook these pieces until they are nicely browned, about four or five minutes. Continue until all the pieces are browned. As the pieces are cooked, strain off and discard the fat.
• Return all the pieces to the kettle and add the onion, coarsely chopped carrot and garlic and cook three minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add the broth and bring to the boil. Simmer about one hour or until the liquid is reduced to about six cups. Skim off any scum and fat from the top as it accumulates.
• Remove and reserve the meaty duck pieces, such as legs, breast, thighs and so on. Discard the bony parts, such as the backbone.
• Strain the six cups of duck soup into a saucepan and bring to the simmer.
• Remove the meat from the reserved duck pieces and cut it into small dice. There should be about two cups of meat.
• Cut the mushrooms into small squares. There should be about two cups.
• Put the mushrooms, diced meat, wild rice, leeks and carrots into a kettle and pour the hot soup over them. Let simmer about two minutes. Serve piping hot.

BOMB DIGGITY CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• You need a big pan..I used my standard big pan and it was close there for a minute if it was going to run over..as it cooked though it boiled down and worked fine. Heat olive oil in your big pan
• Chop onions and peppers and throw those in pan, finish chopping all veggies and add to pan as you chop them. Add in your pepper flakes, tomatoes, water and bouillon, add tomato sauce 1/2 can...let it cook for a little while and add the rest to your taste. I like a good tomato base to soup. If you want less that's up to you.
• Boil for 30 to 40 min stirring frequently, and simmer another 30 minutes or so until all veggies are tender. Enjoy! I made grilled cheese sandwiches to go with it, and it was great!
