Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 3 potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 2 smoked turkey legs

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth

  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen corn

  • 1 quart light cream

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes into a pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Cut the meat from the turkey legs, discarding the bones and tendons. Chop the turkey meat and set aside.

  2. Heat the butter in a soup pot over medium heat; cook the onion in the butter until translucent, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and onion; stir constantly until the butter and flour form a paste. Allow the paste to fry for about 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, potatoes, turkey meat, and corn; stir until the mixture comes to a low boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. With a potato masher, slightly mash the potatoes and vegetables until the potatoes look rounded off. Pour in the cream, bring soup back to a simmer, and allow to cook without boiling for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Costas French Market Doughnuts (Beignets)

Costas French Market Doughnuts (Beignets)

As kids, we always put in a heartfelt request for these Costas French Market doughnuts (beignets) on Christmas Eve. It was quite a family affair—my mom would make up the dough, my dad would roll them out and cut them, and then after frying them up, we kids would take turns shaking them in a paper bag with confectioners' sugar! I finally got to go to New Orleans and was excited to try "the real thing'" at the famous Cafe Du Monde...I was so happy because my husband and I said our recipe was a near-carbon copy of Cafe Du Monde! We've made this recipe for over 40 years, and I promise it won't disappoint!
