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. -Kathleen Harris, Galesburg, Illinois

CREAMY DELICIOUS TURKEY SOUP!

Creamy Delicious Turkey Soup! image

I found the base of this recipe from AllRecipes but have made this so many times and tweaked it so many times that it's not truly the original anymore. This is my absolutely FAVORITE way to use up some leftover turkey meat. Don't throw away that turkey carcass! It's imperative here. I don't think I would bother making this soup without the turkey carcass step because I feel it adds an incredible amount of flavor. I also like to add a few diced potatoes sometimes. I hope you like this as much as we do! My 2 and 4 year old LOVE it!
