  1. Very easy to make and great for after Thanksgiving turkey left overs. This makes a lot of soup and is very good with homemade noodles. The taste will depend on how your turkey was made. Mine was brined and apple wood smoked so it gave the soup a wonderful taste.
     
  2. I used this recipe for leftover turkey. It was DELICIOUS! I just halfed the recipe, used chicken broth instead of water, and kept all the noodles...very hearty. My family loved it so much that I intend to try it out with chicken too! Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Awesome soup recipe. I used the carcass of a hotel style turkey breast (includes the wings) and the broth was wonderful. I did add one 12.5 oz. can of chicken broth just in case. Followed recipe to a "T" except I realized too late that I was out of celery, so I used some celery salt, also used peas with pearl onions and wide egg noodles. I am not good at making soup and this turned out great. Even my soup hating husband raved about it. Pretty easy too! Thanks for sharing! I am going to use this for chicken soup also.
     
  4. Just wonderful! This is now my very favorite turkey soup recipe -- simple and savory with just the right amount of noodles. Thanks!
     
  5. Great! I used 3 quarts of chicken stock plus about 2 cups water. No extra salt. I used 12 oz package of medium egg noodles (recipe called for more like 8 oz).

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
