I made a few changes. I doubled the carrots & celery, I finely diced both & the half onion. I suggest the potatoes be cut into 1/2" cubes. I found that 4 hours was plenty of cook time, plus one hour with the creamed mixture. Dee-lish-us! I love a good, chunky soup. This fills the bill

Hands down the best cream of turkey soup I've ever had (and probably will ever have). Slow cooking brought out the unique flavor of the turkey I love so much. Slow cooking also tenderizes the meat -- all this without adding extra fat. This recipe surpassed restaurant quality. I added one cup of lima beans, because I love the combination of turkey and lima beans.

This was very good, but a little bland for us. Next time I will add some pepper and/or paprika to spice it up. A great way to use up leftover turkey, though!

This was the best turkey soup recipe <br/>I recommend it to all. It has great thick consistency to warm you on a cold day.

This made a yummy, comforting turkey soup. I added salt and pepper which made all the difference for the flavour, as well as a tbsp dried parsley. Thanks for your creation, Marg!
