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!

This soup is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more salt and pepper.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a very affordable meal. I was able to make a big pot of soup for less than $10.

This soup is amazing! It's so creamy and delicious, and the turkey is perfectly cooked. I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey, but I'm sure it would be just as good with fresh turkey. I also added a few extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and th
