I’m sure everyone thinks that their’s is the best, but seriously… this turkey soup recipe is the best! Plan to use your turkey carcass for this soup, OR… it’s perfectly okay to grab one of those roasted turkey breasts that markets typically sell alongside their roasted chickens. Either one will work just fine for this recipe. If your turkey carcass is gigantic, it’s okay to cut it in half and just use half in the soup. Plan to save about three cups of chopped turkey to add to the soup after you make your delicious, rich turkey broth.
This soup has some good veggie action (carrot, butternut squash, parsnip and peas). And it’s made completely hearty and filling with the addition of pasta and white beans too. My husband always jokes that soup is not “dinner.” (He feels like it’s a starter dish). With THIS soup though, it’s definitely dinner. You’ll be stuffed after eating a bowl of this with some bread and salad.
So will you be making some turkey soup with your turkey leftovers? It’s pure comfort. Go for it!
