Turkey Tomato Soup

Okay.

For the past month (?) I've been noticing that my vision is not what it use to be, even a couple of months ago.  I figured I just needed to update my prescription and all would be right with the world.

Yesterday, I went to the eye doctor and she could get my right eye to 20/20.  Now I'm freaking out.  What the heck am I going to do if I cannot see 20/20 out of one of my eyes.  She takes a closer look at my eye and I'm having some sort of inflammatory response to...?

And there is something like a rash on my eye, hence the reason I cannot see.  Now I'm on some steroid eye drops and hopefully the "rash" and inflammation is gone by next Tuesday so that I can get my eyes rechecked to update my prescription.

Please hope that it's all better soon.  I'd like to see again.

Now for dinner tonight Alex and I made turkey and tomato soup with left over turkey and bits and bobs from around the kitchen.

Ingredients:

• About 2 cups chopped cooked turkey 
• 1 small zucchini, diced 
• 1 medium onion, diced 
• 1 small jalapeno, diced 
• About 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes 
• 1/2 box elbow macaroni 
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 

Directions:

• Saute onions, zucchini, and jalapeno in extra virgin olive oil until soft.  
• Add turkey, broth, tomatoes, macaroni, basil, cumin, and pepper
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked.

Tomorrow, I think we are going to try are hand at minestrone.

The verdict:

Dianna: " Not soupy enough, but good flavors"

Alex: "I like it.  I ate it all."
