Great recipie!! This is going to be my go to recipe for turkey soup!!! Going to make this again and again! Made this tonight using a turkey breast carcass. Thank you for the fantastic recipe. Fiancee loved it!
I was surprised how tasty this was. I took the shortcut route and used a bag of frozen vegetable soup mix! Delicious!
Great recipe. Easy to make and great on a cold day. I look forward to this soup every time I make a turkey; for me, it's the reward for all the work on the stuffing and sides. I always add noodles, about the same amount of meat and less vegetables.
I really enjoyed this simple turkey soup. The broth is rich and easy to make. I added edamame to the list of vegetables.
I had family after Thanksgiving and they just raved about this tirkey soup
This is THE best recipe for turkey soup I have ever made or tasted. I have used the carcass of a turkey & also the carcass of just a turkey breast. Great recipe.
