Thanksgiving Turkey Leftover Soup

Thanksgiving Turkey Leftover Soup | WorldofPastabilities.com

November.  It’s the time of year when food starts to enter into every conversation.  We plan to serve the annual traditional dishes, no matter how much everyone likes them :), and we talk about “changing things up” this year with our Thanksgiving buffet selection.  On occasion we try something new – kale salad?  Brussel sprouts a new way? Usually that doesn’t happen.

But some things never change:  leftovers.  And we have a new idea for you:  Turkey Leftover Soup!  Thanksgiving is one of the best meals of the year for leftovers.  We all look forward to our favorites and I’m just sayin’ that our family may make extra of each dish just to have more leftovers…did I just type that and not delete?

One of our many family Thanksgiving traditions has been to have Turkey Curry the following night.  You know, shredded turkey with a warm creamy curry sauce served over white or brown rice.  Yum.  But after the kids came along, we needed something a bit more “universal”.  Mom and I worked on this recipe and many years ago decided to print it on the back of our Gobble Gobble Turkey Pasta label.  It just sounded really good to have a leftover soup that you could serve with some cornbread or rolls the night after a heavy meal.  Maybe with a sweet crunchy side salad.

Chicken Noodle Soup is widely loved, but we think Turkey Leftover Soup can be just as appealing.  And it’s not just the turkey that can be leftover.  Throw in your green beans, roasted carrots, etc…any veggie can be thrown in!  Have fun adding and experimenting…that is what leftovers are for!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Instructions

  1. In a large stockpot, combine broth, vinegar, onion, and seasonings.

    Great idea! Soups always sound so appealing this time of year, and a lighter dinner the day after Thanksgiving is just what the doctor ordered 🙂

      OMG! So glad you saw this! Add the butter when you stir in the turkey! Really…you could add it in step 1 as well…just adds a little more flavor to the soup! I hope I caught you in time!
