Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

[@brianawhatley7119]

My mom made the same soup, except she didn't strain out anything. When it was cooked she'd serve it up. We were used to picking through the bones. They always have the best floavor! When I tell my American friends, they think it's weird, but in Peru, that was normal.

[@diontabannah7959]

Why is everyone hating. She didn't waste the ingredients at the beginning. Anyone who knows how to cook knows that she was simply making a stock "base" for the soup. I think she forgot to mention that at the beginning. You can simply skip the first part and use premade turkey /chicken stock or a bouillon Cube of some sort. Great video!

[@Meriale46]

Thank you...so many people have no idea how to cook a meal from scratch. The next generation is lost and will be living off of processed food. God help them...they'd really flip out if they knew how much food was wasted at their local favourite restaurant. Just check the dumpsters to see all the meals that were sent back and tossed into the trash. Better yet, how many leftovers went into the trash at their own homes?

[@gregbythesea]

that's correct

[@ragangrasso2201]

Probably the people who open boxes and call that cooking 😂😂

[@Kenlight242]

That food looks very nice and tasty 🤓🤓

[@markyarbrough4301]

It looks like a great recipe. I make turkey soup using a similar recipe. Though one thing I do differently is cook my rice, noodles, barley ect seperately & add what I want to each serving. The pasta or rice tends to keep cooking in the hot soup & turns to mush when you reheat leftovers.

[@patriciaregehr6058]

That's a great tip! Thank you

[@moredisneyplease]

My mother makes this every year too, and it is so comforting. She uses rice instead of orzo, but same veggies and stock. It goes great with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich, doesn't it? Thanks for the recipe, Kimmy!

[@nmcmill6137]

I made your Turkey soup last year, it was excellent!! I have a 10 Lb. turkey that I am going to bake, we are having neighbor potluck in a week or so, and i am definitely making this soup again, and in November after Thanksgiving. I love that you made your turkey stock and not store premade stock. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. take cake Nada. 🙂

[@lindahernandez503]

Someone mentioned browning the bones first and add a little vinegar, it brings out the morrow in the bones. Looks good, I will be making this when I finish my turkey. Thanks

[@autum1638]

Your broth looks excellent. My mom used to make turkey soup after every Thanksgiving. She'd make the broth the same way but would only halve a large onion with the skin on it and same with carrots, no peeling as it adds color. The bay leaves always went in while making the stock. Once that was strained and ready, she'd always stir in one packet of turkey soup gravy mix (any kind), a large serving spoon worth of stuffing, homemade egg noodle, onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, black olives and of course...the turkey! Watching your recipe has convinced me to make it this year for my family. Thank you!

[@Nan-ly8zb]

I’m making it now. I have the flu and have had zero appetite. This is the first thing that’s appealed to me in days. It smells AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for this!!!!

[@jailbird61]

Add egg noodles, rice and pearl barley. The barley makes it really thick and hearty.

[@LoveShackBBQ]

Looks great!! I'm doing ours today. My mom taught me to use barley, egg noodles and squash in addition to whatever veggies you have laying around. Kind of like a "junk soup" as we called it. Be well, eat even better!!

[@sandyhuerta4150]

We also made "junk soup" on Saturday for lunch. Basically, all the weeks leftovers simmered all morning. Always delicious!

[@sanjursan]

I just made this today. Great recipe and simple too. Mine came out a tad thin so I crumbled up a few pieces of leftover cornbread. Yummy.

[@clovemexico]

I made this the day after new years with our new years day turkey. Thank You!!!!!! My entire family loved it which is a miracle

[@julieellison7179]

Kimmy I recently began making my stock in my big crockpot. I put it on right away that evening and add all the same yummy vegetables and herbs then cook on low like 24 hours. Strain and voila yummy rich broth. I do chicken carcasses the same way. You are awesome I have enjoyed watching many of your videos the past few weeks Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁

[@karenrich9092]

I used to use the strainer from my pasta pot in my 4 gallon kettle. It kept the carcass and seasonings together without having to strain out ingredients

[@lovingyourlifestyle6320]

I like your video, I take the fame of the turkey and make soup. I never waste any of the food at our house. Learning to use your left overs in soup is another way to get more veggies in your diet.

[@fairygirl69]

Do you ever use the veggie tray from Thanksgiving in the stock? Leftover turkey soup is an after Turkey Day tradition in our house. Your soup looks lovely.

[@rentcontrol76]

Just made the today and it is a big hit! I only changed the orzo for rice.... Thank you for the great meals for weeks, well days...lol

[@lindamolina6832]

Tonight I made your Turkey Soup Recipe it was a big hit, to make it heartier I added potatoes, plus the rice. It was delicious. Than you for Sharing 🤗

[@Anthony-eg7pw]

Thanks for the Easy to follow video! Sometimes I get intimidated by all of the ingredients and a specific measurements so I appreciate your open view on adding seasoning..very excited to make this

[@samanthamis]

great video Kimmy! We had a rotisserie chicken the other night and i'm currently doing this with the chicken carcass. I know its August but its a cold rainy day here in Ontario. My house smells so delicious!

[@jessejgay1]

I made this soup, it came out amazing. Sure mad I've been throwing out Turkey carcass all these years.

[@Notyourfriendhomie]

I did what you did but added green cabbage and potatoes. Cornbread on the side. Soo yummy 😋

[@danielcummings2023]

Thank You! Smoked a Turkey as since I was on quarantine with my girls. Used your instructions with some twists and made some fantastic soup! Thanks again!

[@CherokeeTwilight]

Turkey Gravy is a nice addition too, thickens and adds more flavor

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

I cant see a way this would not be good

[@trudyschaffer8016]

CherokeeTwilight who has left over gravy?. Lol!!! 🤣🤣 just kidding.. great idea! 😉

[@GODSPEAKS898]

Your soup looks delish!! I will be adding this to tomorrow’s dinner.

[@marieesparza842]

This will be my 2nd year making this soup very easy and yummy.

[@jerfedittmann2145]

I am so excited to make this for the first time. Yours look delicious. Thank you 😊😊😊

[@mariacuevas3019]

This was the best turkey soup i have ever had. Thank you for sharing and I am excited to make it again this thanksgiving. God bless you and your family!

[@Lisaairbnb]

I make it the same way but add cubed potatoes. Then instead of rice i add some small pasta. (Ditali pasta ) Looks great

[@patstone7950]

I made the soup today. It was delicious. I am not a good soup maker so thanks for this recipe!!!!

[@lisamader5270]

This is probably the best homemade stock I've ever made, and she's right--the herbs are essential.

[@bobstone5325]

Yummy soup on a cold day

[@JA2FLY1]

Giiiiirrrrllllll you had me at 1:44 this looks amazing

[@desr421]

Thank you luv, your video inspired me! We had a Cajun turkey over the holiday So all I did was take EVERYTHING that came from the bird and threw it in the crock pot for 8 hours! Came out amazing... A lot of picking but it was worth it!

[@1nitesite]

She did the stock correctly. The flavor is almost completely gone from the veggies she first used, so there was no waste in discarding it. STOCK IS NOT THE SAME AS BROTH. If you do not understand the difference yet you should learn your way around the kitchen. And any leftover turkey boiled on the bones to make the gelatinous bone stock is also flavorless after the long simmer. That would be discarded as well. Good job Lady!!!!!!!

[@fairygirl69]

I agree. I've always done stock that way.

[@MarionetteKazuko]

Once I made some and put the bones in the oven for about an hr on very low heat (maybe 150 degrees), and once they start getting smokey, i take them out and then continue to use them pretty much how you did. it sort of helps give that oven taste to the soup.

[@gregbythesea]

That is the very French way to do it and the bones after being browned in the oven give a much deeper richer flavor.

[@fortheloveofmillie3982]

Thanks for the video, I'm cooking this really soon. I think I might add a half cup of cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom at the end to thicken. Thanks again!!!

[@steventrosiek2623]

Thank you for a wonderful recipe. You're a fantastic cook. Happy holidays.

[@pillsareyummy]

Followed this recipe with my leftover (Christmas) turkey. Tastes great!! Happy holidays.

[@67225mary]

That looks delicious!!! I will be making this!!! No turkey left after Thanksgiving but we are going to be making another one on Christmas eve!!!

[@RK-so9gc]

Made this today with only a couple modifications for my liking. Turned out great. Thanks for the recipe

[@cactusbound]

I just made this soup last week. Turned out great! 😋 I added tiny noodles. Who remembers Mrs Grass noodle soup? Nice touch. Hadn’t thought of Orzo in a long time.

[@cizia69]

Happy Thanksgiving 2021, thank you for sharing!

[@FergusonAmber55]

Yum! Second year in a row for this soup!

[@pillsareyummy]

Just made this (left over Easter Turkey). Very, very good. Thanks.

[@Oilofmercy]

Very nice, no fake stock cubes! Yum.

[@zachary8224]

this looks delicious! I'm gonna try this today since we have some leftover turkey. Thanks for this recipe :)

[@trademarktm2222]

Doing this now. Thank you!!!

[@ellekay852]

So delicious!! Thank you so much for this great video- the recipe was just perfect!

[@OurFamilyofFour]

Good gravy, that looks sooooo yummy!

[@teresajulian9571]

Thank you for your recipe. My house smells amazing right now. Smells like Christmas morning.

[@jshep]

Nice, but bone broth is superior to stock. The only difference is to add apple cider vinegar (like Bragg's) which extracts the gelatin/collagen from the bones. It makes all the difference.

[@BellaPersonified]

j shep I'll try this. thanks for the tip

[@KatarinaS.]

And cook for far longer than 40 min in order to extract all of the goodness & flavor from the bones & cartilage.

[@fairygirl69]

I cook mine in my Instant Pot for at least an hour. Everyone loves my soup. It's the first thing Iearned to make really well. My Momma would actually ask for it when she was sick.

[@canekisi]

The blooper at the very end. Lol so funny!!!😂😂

[@mssky69]

looks good I would add dumplings in to my soup

[@loripiontek]

I made my turkey soup this way using matzoh balls instead of rice and noodles. Added a little barley for thickening.

[@dob8240]

How do you make matzoh balls?

[@SolWaid1965]

Looks so hearty! I'm making it as I write this. I don't think I have rice or pasta, but I'm sure it'll still taste great. Oh, I do have small potatoes, maybe I'll use them. Thanks for sharing!

[@eliziocantio1111]

Damn my soup came out with so much more flavor this time around.. thanks for sharing

[@HH-kg4fq]

celery carrots parsley black pepper rosemary thyme bay leaves ginger sage 3 quarts water. Boil. Thank you and you're welcome.

[@donnanorris2939]

You should try adding dried Sage (or Poultry Seasoning.) Yuuuum!!!! 👍😋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (At LEAST 1 Tablespoon.)

[@patstone7950]

Just got thru making it again this year. So delicious!! Do you have any other soup recipes?

[@lurenacornella6588]

Makes my nose happy. Makes my tummy happy. Makes me warm and happy. How long do you boil carcasses

[@bridgetpotts9762]

Looks delicious

[@AdolfHitler-lp4je]

Looks great 👍🏼

[@Sky1]

Dont forget to play some appropriate soupmaking music while making it! I like to play Enya when cooking.

[@alle126]

I made this like you said and omg it was delicious thank you so much

[@Deikoka]

Omg this looks soooooooooooo yummy

[@DanielWatches]

this turned out great! thanks for the recipe!

[@stacytowns1069]

Instead of onion and orzo, I use potatoes and corn along with with celery and carrots and herbs. Just made some turkey soup and turkey salad, save some slice turkey breast to eat with a pot of great northern beans that i also cooked while turkey was in the oven. Yes I broke it 😂 down all today straight from the oven. Did not cook it on thanksgiving day. We had seafood.

[@univac7677]

Thanks. We tried this and it was great!

[@misterpresidented2152]

I tried this after divorcing and returning to the lonely single life. Amazing recipe. The only added seasoning I had were my tears of sadness.

[@robertnardi4104]

Try adding. Fresh. Ginger extra warmth during winter

[@analemus3815]

Hi Kimmy thank you for this idea, I’ve never done this with turkey only with chicken. It looks delicious 😋

[@amyamy1097]

Love.soothing comfort.

[@jotaann9173]

I wrap my carcass in cheese cloth to make it a whole lot easier.

[@cnrblog2660]

Sherrich Bah aha that’s a great tip! Tyfs! 🌺

[@ilovenoodles7483]

Also putting all the loose seasonings like peppercorn and bay leaves and such in cheese cloth or in a tea bag helps immensely!!!

[@QueenCeeNY]

I add flour dumpling to it and sweet potato.

[@DustinPerezano-ne3dn]

Looks very good. 😊

[@alisonallen7545]

Can't wait to try this!

[@kevingaddis7276]

I've been doing this for years but I do it INA pressure cooker at 15# at 15 minutes.

[@dianaa827]

You uploaded this video 8 years ago and I’ve made turkey soup using your video like 7 years already!

[@AmazinglyAwkward]

Great video thanks for your efforts

[@Disneygirl377]

Looks so delicious!!!!

[@surfboardwave3788]

Making this right now !🏆😋

[@rvroutdoors2131]

I literally died at the end blooper 🤣💀

[@mziashvelidze6148]

thanks

[@cactusroadrunner5277]

You didn't explain what orzo was and the seasonings...i gotta look that up so these two things I've never heard of but...anyhow my smarts lead me to goggle. Just FYI. The rest of the ingredients made soup look so delicious...minus the two unknown seasonings...since allergies exist. Thank you for sharing.

[@steventrosiek2623]

Great recipe. Thanks.

[@justinjones84.-r43]

Start mine tomorrow

[@Pattys1967]

Oh snap ,when you stuck your hand in to push down turkey bones is when I realized how big ypur pot was lol I need a bigger pot because I have a huge turkey carcass thanks for sharong this .love my stock

[@charissasweeting7742]

Looks like you did a pretty good job, thank you for sharing. Will try and let you know!

[@alneshiasaint-hubert1595]

Looks Awesome 💕

[@lunchboxadventures7134]

Yum! Going to make this!

[@neongenecis]

Im eating it right now it tastes good

[@jenf50]

That looks awesome

[@drdmom9700]

Got to have diced potatoes in there. Yum

[@Anthony-eg7pw]

Where did the bones go when you boiled the carcass?

[@rieiid5867]

That's why she strained into another pot. You cook the carcass to get the broth and then you can discard the carcass once it's been used.

[@jrcrash4644]

In the trash. You have to separate the meat from the bones manually after you boil it. The boiling process should loosen up the meat and make it a little easier.

[@kimkat120]

I've been waiting and hoping you would share your turkey soup how-to! So I'm new at making soup from a carcass and I have a question: Are the carrots and onion you put in after you strain the soup different carrots and onion and celery from the beginning with the carcass? Thanks for your help! I can't wait to try this out!

[@shesinherapron]

hi! Yes they are

[@peggymac5767]

I am making it right now.. almost done.. I used egg noodles.

[@humbe2dl]

Wonderful video!! I can't wait to try to this today!! I do have a question though, how do I know how much water to add in relation to my turkey carcass? If I add too much will it be watered down? And also, do you take as much of the meat off as you can before you make the broth or do you just throw it all in? Thank you so much!!!

[@shesinherapron]

I took off any big chunks of meat and any meat I wanted for leftover or add to the soup later. I put enough water on to just cover the bones. I'm not sure if it would be watered down but o wanted a strong turkey stock. Herbs are key! Have fun!

[@angelapla1]

Great video, as always God bless!

[@pollyjuicegranny]

We called this "TURKEY BONE SOUP" A Tradition after Thanksgiving.
