I've made this soup 3X now and it gets better each time. No unusual ingredients, things I always have on hand. And the best part is that when I air fry turkey wings, we use the meat from the drumettes to make this soup. Just enough for two. Great recipe.

Great base for creamy soups without using heavy cream or half n half. I added wild rice and broccoli - yummy!

We hated this soup - there is WAY TOO MUCH THYME in it. I even tried to dilute it with more chicken stock and then cream (I used coconut cream, actually), but it was still too much. I tried Garlic. DIdn't work. It was inedible and we threw it away! It was way too much work pulling the turkey off the carcass to throw it away! I DO NOT recommend this and will NOT make it again, unless I use NO Thyme and only garlic. Maybe add potatoes or rice.

Excellent! Quick easy and delish! We have made this multiple times, sometimes with left overs from Thanksgiving, others with a cooked turkey breast and stock I had (both chicken and turkey). I have never added savory but followed all else, used canned peas vs. frozen and this last time, a can of mushrooms with the can of peas! Highly recommended and nothing but compliments. Love it!

I made this soup with thanksgiving turkey leftovers. It was pretty easy to prepare, and the directions were straight forward. The only change I made was that I added a whole stick of butter. I added two cups of broth and the consistency was thick soup-like. My two year old ate it and kept saying how good it was-which made me happy because he is sometimes a picky eater. My husband also really enjoyed the soup. I will without a doubt make this recipe again!

Recipe might call for too much flour causing extra thickness. I substituted heavy cream and skipped the thickening step. My version is great for low carbers / ketogenic followers. Also added a splash of white wine with broth.Delicious.

This turned out really delicious. I added about 1/2 cup more of my turkey broth but only because I added a bit of orzo to the soup, or wild rice would have been great. I used garlic instead of the powder. I have no idea what happened to the previous reviewer but it was not at all too thick unless it had boiled so long that the broth evaporated. From my turkey, I still have lots of broth for another soup. I would recommend this recipe.

I followed the directions to a T, yet this soup wasn't very soupy at all. I think there's something wrong with the quantity of stock it calls for...when I put in 2 cups, it was way too thick, so I thinned it with 2 more cups, and it was still way too thick (it was more like a dip than a chowder). I didn't have any more stock on hand, but I think it needs at least 2 more cups, and probably more like 4-6 more cups. The taste was ok, but it also needed some lemon or lime juice to brighten the flavor. Overall, I would NOT recommend this recipe; there are better ones out there.
