Instructions: Well, I did adjust it... changed the
turkey to chicken since I couldnt find
3# turkey wings due to strikes in the
area, change the cooking etc. Original is in ( ).

Note 1: Original used 3 lb turkey wings, I cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces Note 2: Original used 9 C nonfat chicken stock

Heat oil in heavy large pot over med heat. Add onions and garlic; saute until translucent. Add chicken pieces ( turkey wings), chicken broth and oregano. (If using the turkey wings - Cover; simmer over med-low heat 1 hr.) Add in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with juice, carrots, celery, bring to a boil then reduce to simmer. Simmer till the vegetables are fork tender. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool soup slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover. Keep chilled. Bring to simmer before continuing.)

(If using turkey wings - Using tongs discard skin and bones. Mix meat into soup. Bring to simmer. Add tomatoes with juices, carrots and celery. Cover; simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 6 min. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool soup slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover. Keep chilled. Bring to simmer before continuing.)

For both my directions and original turkey directions continue as below: Add orzo; simmer, covered, until pasta is tender, stirring often, about 10 min. Mix in white beans or cannellini and basil; cook until heated, about 5 min. Season with salt and pepper.

This was amazing!! Very easy my way and extremely filling.

NOTES : I made this tonight for dinner and it was really good. I omitted the oil and used 3 turkey drumsticks instead of the chicken breast, and also added about a cup of sliced mushrooms.

Since I knew I wasnt going to be home all day, I made it in my crockpot. I cooked it on High for 4 hrs, then added the orzo and cooked it another half hour. I will certainly make this again. Thanks Reggie. [Penchard@aol.com]
