Creamy Turkey Soup
"This goes together in a flash-and is really flexible for using ingredients on hand. You can either make this with noodles or dumplings, or leave them out. We like our soup salty, so adjust that to your taste."

Is it 8oz dry pasta or cooked pasta? I originally did dry, but the pasta absorbed most of the broth. Just wanted to double check!

This soup was amazingly good! If you dont have turkey, it would be just as great with chicken! While eating this soup it was so comforting but was a soup that I could see making/eating when someone is under the weather. Its that type of soup that would make you feel better when your sick. I pretty much followed the recipe exactly, except before adding the turkey and noodles I simmered the broth and veggies to flavor it well. Probably about 30 min. later I added the turkey and egg noddles and cooked per the directions. Sooooo good! Nice and flavorful. It tastes just like a Homemade chicken noodle soup but creamy! I can really see how others have said that this would be amazing as well by adding in dumplings for chicken and dumplings. Thanks so much for this recipe! I cant wait to make again to test on someone or myself when they arent feeling so well. -
I made this with my leftover turkey and loved it!!!!! I added garlic, celery and carrots... it was GREAT -
Wonderful soup! Me, my husband and our 16 month old love it! I used a whole onion instead of green onions and added celery. I also added 1/2 cup of frozen corn at the end. Thank you for sharing! -
Made this tonight with leftover turkey...was soo good. I halved the recipe as there is only two of us here, had some carrots in the fridge but when I took them out they had frozen and were no longer good, ( issues with the vegetable crisper) so I used corn in place of the carrots.I also put celery in this and used Mrs Reames frozen noodles. Wow what a great soup. It was very tasty and so good on a rainy night...thanks so much for sharing

Amazing soup - I used fresh carrots instead of frozen and added some Kale at the end. Will definitely make this again.

Ready for a laugh? I've made this soup many times. It is a favorite. I've used frozen carrots and fresh carrots but today was this first time I used purple carrots.

I was looking to use some leftovers from Thanksgiving and replaced the noodles with one chopped potato and a cup of frozen peas. I sautéed the potato with the carrots and 1 cup diced white onion (instead of green) at the beginning and added the peas at the end. After everything was added, I simmered the soup covered on low for about 45-50 min to make sure all of the vegetables were cooked through. I also reduced the salt from 2 to 1 teaspoon because of the saltiness of the bouillon cubes I used for the broth. It turned out great! -
Used rotisserie chicken

I added pasta.

I subbed olive oil for half the butter and yellow onion for the green. Made with homemade turkey stock and homemade egg noodles (and 2% milk, rather than the cream option). Everyone LOVED this recipe! Made one recipe and four of us ate it with enough leftovers for lunch. If we eat small servings. :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
