I have been making this soup for the past 18 years every year in October. I save plucked ducks for this recipe specifically. The original recipe does not call for smoked ducks, but I prefer it much better with the smoked meat. It's a Paul Prudhomme recipe. Even if you don't like cauliflower-this recipe is awesome! The cauliflower when smothered down to nothing smooths out and the bite is gone. It compliments the duck beautifully.
Puddle Ducks rinsed, patted dry, coat of fig syrup to help suck up the smoke for the stock...
Onda smoker for @180* for 2 hours, just long enough to get a little smoke on them, then in the stock pot for 6 hours to fall apart...
