Turkey Soup Recipe

Turkey Soup RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Turkey Soup Recipe Rating 4

My daughter got this recipe from her husband's mother. As in many households, our turkey gets picked over for a few days after the holidays. When the carcass is almost clean, it's time to make soup! This soup is especially good on cold winter nights when it's snowing...which happens a lot where I live!

Why do you add chicken broth? When I make homemade soup I use the turkey broth only. Other than that the recipe sounds great.

the addition of "serving Size", one cup, 2 oz. etc. to the nutrition info would be very helpful. Thx
