Turkey Noodle Soup With Tomatoes

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon, or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large kettle or stockpot combine the carcass, the celery, the
carrots, the garlic, the onions, the peppercorns, and enough water to
cover the mixture by 2 inches (about 6 quarts) and simmer the  mixture,
uncovered, for 3 hours. Strain the stock through a large  sieve into a
large bowl, leaving the solids in the sieve, return the  stock to the
kettle, and boil it until it is reduced to about 10 cups.  When the
solids in the sieve are cool enough to handle, remove any  turkey meat
from the carcass and add it to the stock with the  carrots, crushed
lightly, discarding the remaining solids. Add the  tomatoes and bring
the soup to a boil. Stir in the noodles, boil the  soup, stirring
occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the  noodles are tender,
and stir in the parsley and salt and ground black  pepper to taste. The
soup may be made in advance, cooled completely,  uncovered, and kept
covered and chilled for 2 days or covered and  frozen for 2 months.

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
