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!

CREAMY TURKEY (OR CHICKEN) AND WILD RICE SOUP



CREAMY TURKEY (OR CHICKEN) AND WILD RICE SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Poultry     Thanksgiving

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c. uncooked wild rice (I prefer the whole grain style, not the cracked)
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, sliced into 1/4? thick coins
8 oz. fresh button mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
8 c. low sodium chicken broth
2 c. half and half
2 T. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tsp. dried)
4 c. cooked and coarsely shredded turkey or chicken
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • First off, you'll want to get your wild rice cooking, so it's ready to add to the finished soup. Prepare according to the package instructions. (It takes awhile - the instructions on my bag says to cook it for 55 minutes.) The remainder of the recipe can be made in one stock pot. Start by melting the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic. Stir well and saute until the onion is transparent and softened. Blend in flour, cooking until it bubbles a bit. Gradually add the broth, stirring constantly. Turn up the heat a bit and bring the soup to a low boil. Boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat slightly and add the cooked wild rice, half and half, soy sauce, salt, pepper, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, and turkey or chicken. Simmer for 20 minutes or until thoroughly warmed. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and taste test to see if it needs more salt and pepper. Serve with crackers or warm bread.

CREAMY TURKEY VEGETABLE SOUP



Creamy Turkey Vegetable Soup image

I made this up as I was throwing it together and I didn't measure anything, so the measurements are my best guess. I cook by taste and what will fit in my pot. I'm not a fan of sage but it really works, in moderation, in this soup. If you love sage then add it to your heart's desire. Thyme may also be nice if used sparingly. I...

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Turkey Soups

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 - 4 large turkey necks
3 - 4 qt water
very coarsely cut vegetables to season water, salt, 8-10 whole peppercorns, 5-6 whole garlic cloves
2 large onions, coarsely chopped & divided
5 stalk(s) celery, sliced & divided
1/2 large green bell pepper, seeded & diced
2 tsp white pepper
salt & coarse black pepper to taste
2 Tbsp dried parsley
2 tsp garlic powder
STEP TWO
2 small bay leaves
2 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
2 c frozen green peas, rinsed
1/2 c fresh or frozen green beans
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4" rounds
rubbed or ground sage (i use this very sparingly, and add to taste)
1 1/2 c milk
2 c heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp dried chives or 1/2 c sliced green onions
2 Tbsp dried parsley
2 Tbsp butter
3 - 4 c leftover turkey meat
salt, black pepper, garlic powder to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a large 5-6 qt heavy pot cook down turkey necks in water seasoned with various vegetables, salt, peppercorns & garlic. Cook for about 2-3 hours, adding more water as needed until neck meat is tender and will easily pull from the necks. Remove from heat, take the necks out and put on a plate and set aside to cool. You can pull the neck meat and use in this soup or use it for something else. Strain the broth to get all of the seasonings out.
  • 2. In the same heavy pot or Dutch Oven heat the turkey broth until hot, then add half of the chopped onions, half of the sliced celery, and all of the bell pepper and parsley. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to keep it on a low boil and cover. Cook until the vegetables are completely tender.
  • 3. Season with salt & peppers, and garlic, stir well and taste. Get the seasoning right at this point because you will be adding more later. Turn the heat off and use an immersion blender to puree everything until smooth. The soup will have a greenish hue - it will change later.
  • 4. Remove cover and bring this back to a very low simmer and add remaining onions, celery, add bay leaves, corn, peas, green beans, carrots, and potatoes. Add a little rubbed sage, about a couple of pinches and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • 5. Allow to slowly cook on the stove, uncovered, until the veggies become tender crisp. Add milk, cream, chives or green onions and parsley. Stir well and continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally. Taste often and add more sage if desired, salt & coarse black pepper as needed.
  • 6. Once soup is thickened to your liking (it won't be extremely thick), stir in butter until melted, then add the turkey meat, stir well and heat through. Enjoy! Tastes even better the next day.

SOUPLANTATION'S CREAMY HERBED TURKEY SOUP



Souplantation's Creamy Herbed Turkey Soup image

Found this recipe on the Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes blog. This makes a BIG pot of soup! Update: After making this a few times, we made some changes. We skip step one, omitting those vegetables. We only use one cup on onions in step two, and halve the butter, flour and all remaining ingredients. Also, I do not puree the soup as stated in step three. This still makes more soup than the three of us can eat in one meal, plus it's a lot less prep work. I've also used half and half or milk in place of the heavy cream with very little difference in the taste.
