Texas Turkey Soup Recipe

I'm not really fond of soup, so I was a little hesitant to try this recipe. But after some adjustments over the years, I've come to love this one-of-a-kind turkey soup.

Refrigerate Chicken Soup without Noodles

When I make my favorite chicken noodle soup, I find it tastes better if I refrigerate the soup without the noodles. When it’s time to serve, I add the noodles to the amount of soup I’m going to use and cook them until tender. —Martha Dimitch, Nineveh, Indiana

My family hates leftovers. So, using up the leftover holiday Turkey is a challenge. This soup was wonderful. It was relatively quick and had a great flavor. Everyone ate seconds. I increased the carrots to 4 but otherwise followed the recipie. I will definitely make this again.
