Creamy Turkey Soup
My mother always prepared a holiday turkey much larger than our family could ever eat in one meal so there'd be plenty of leftovers. That's one tradition I've kept up. This hearty soup uses a lot of turkey and is great after watching football games and raking leaves.

Great soup. Whole family loved it.
We loved it and made a second batch and put it in the freezer for later. A good way to use leftover turkey.
I have been making this soup for some time now. It is so easy and so tasty. When I don't have turkey, I use chicken from a rotisserie chicken. I have even thickened it more and added noodles for a casserole dish or use it for a pot pie.
Really good.
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!
My whole family loves this soup and I love how quick and easy it is to prepare!
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!
