Very tasty. I made it bigger so added another 4 cups of broth, used a rotisserie chicken for the meat. I also could see how one could adjust and add if you wanted to. I wanted to. So once I made it as stated, and it was tasty, I decided to add a few artichoke quarters, and spiked the broth a bit with freshly grated ginger. Wanted a little kick, even though the broth already tasted great. Had a person with a cold in the house and wanted to give an extra snap. Ive also learned over the years to definitely cook the pasta on the side as it just takes all the broth away once it is soaked in. I made the egg noodles on the side, added after into the separate bowls. Im trying to eat less pasta, so made another side pot of barley, so I threw that in my bowl and…Mmmm This was yum!
Excellent recipe! I added sautéed chopped onion. An easy, delicious recipe
This will be my go-to anytime I have leftover turkey.
Simply delicious. The turkey I made did not turn out great but I did not want to waste it. I used the turkey to make this soup and the whole dish was delicious!
Used turkey stock from Thanksgiving. It turned out very nice!
Easy and super good
Simply delicious!
Love it! I stuck to the recipe except I added 2 cups of chopped, fresh kale and an extra 2 cups of chicken broth. Yummy!
do i put the uncooked noodles into the boiling broth in step 2? or do i need to precook the noodles before adding them in. the instructions were unclear. Thank you!!!
Simple, easily obtained ingredients. Hardest part was stripping the turhkey of its meat. Very good, hearty soup. Excellent recipe!
