I didn't use cheese mainly because I forgot to buy it but also because I won't use processed cheese. I had cooked a turkey breast for Thanksgiving, so I took some of that meat off and shredded it into the soup. I sprinkled some cheddar on the top. It is so good, and it warms up well (probably better without the cheese). Perfect with a half baguette on a cold fall day.

This is a tough one for me to rate. I really, really like the flavor of the soup, but for some reason, I didn't like the turkey in it. It just seemed out of place for some reason. The dark meat just kind of stood out to me, not in a good way. It's odd because I really like turkey, I swear! I ended up eating around all the turkey and really enjoyed the soup. I wasn't in the mood for broccoli so I threw in some fresh mushrooms instead and I cubed up a block of cheddar instead of using Velveeta. I might try this again but will probably use chicken instead. Thanks :)

Fixed this soup today, delicious!!!! My husband loved it. I only prepared half of the recipe. Did not have any celery, added some celery salt to the soup. Very rich and filling. Will make often this winter since I still have leftover turkey breast in the freezer. Will substitute chicken broth for the water.

Delicious soup!... I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and recently started to make my own cream soup base to skip the msg in canned soups (cream soup recipe on this site). I used about 2 1/2 cups of turkey and added some chicken boillon to my water. I made it thick because that's the way my family likes it! I will definately make this again! left out the broccoli because I didn't have any, but the celery, carrots and potatoes were enough! Thanks!

I loved this soup. Me and my daughter were arguing over the last bit of soup, and I really was supposed to take it to my mother's house. I made it 2 days after thanksgiving. I froze the rest of my turkey meat that was left over and I am making it again this weekend. Maybe some of it will actually make it to my mom's house.

Wonderful recipe to experiment with - I used leftover turkey from Christmas, and 1 15oz can each of chicken broth and water instead of the 4 cups of water. Also, I did not have all of the veggie ingredients, so I used what I had in the freezer: mixed veggies for soup that included okra, corn, green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and lima beans among other things. I used 1 can each of cream of chicken and cream of celery (to make up for the lack of actualy celery), and also added 1/2 cup of brown rice and some Old Bay Seasoning. I cooked and stirred until the rice was done, adding almost a second can of chicken broth to keep it soup-like. Had the leftovers the next day in homemade turkey pot pie (suggested by another reviewer) Thank you for this really good recipe for me to play with!

I LOVE this soup! I have used chicken broth and left over turkey (instead of boiling just the legs) and it takes great! Great texture very hearty! Great meal! I love it!

This is a great soup, but I did make some minor changes. I had 2 frozen turkey legs that I partially cooked on the stove with the 4 cups of water and some chicken bouillon. While that was cooking, I chopped the carrots, celery, and onion and put them in a crockpot. I added the turkey legs (whole) and the broth and let that cook on high for a few hours. I then cut the meat off the bone and added it back to the crockpot along with frozen corn and a bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower and some rice. Just before serving, I added the can of cream of chicken soup, but no cheese. My kids loved it and it is definitely a comfort food type of soup that I will make again.

I loved this recipe! I got all kinds of raves at work. I did make some changes though: since I made it around thanksgiving, I used leftover turkey. Also to use up some leftovers, I used leftover gravy instead of one can of soup. Definitely a soup to repeat in our house.

I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe. It was very simple to make and my toddler had TWO bowls ;). I ended up using chicken tenders instead of turkey and I baked the chicken and then diced it and added it in with the potatoes and carrots. I omitted the frozen veggies and used 1/2 chicken broth 1/2 water. I will definitely be making this again soon!! Thanks for this recipe.

Perhaps if I had followed the directions more exactly I would have wound up with the "super soup" that everyone else is raving about. Unfortunately, I wanted to make a big pot and used over 2 qts of water and my huge leftover turkey. Added 3 cans chicken broth to get some flavor. Then my mistake.. I hate celery, so I diced it in my food processor. That was alright, but I also diced my carrots and onions in there. End result (after 3 cans cream of chicken / 1 can cream of celery/ half pound of velveeta / half lb cheddar /some parmesan and romano and mounds of seasoning) was basically a slightly cheesy, creamy broth with mini chunks of potato and a few veggies. (Oh yeah, I ended up using 1 lb mixed frozen and 1 lb green beans.) I doubt I'll do this again, I prefer my usual, entirely homemade (i.e. no cans of soup and processed cheese!) turkey, lentil, and barley soup, but if I did, I promise to follow the recipe!! Thanks anyway. Cheers!

WOW! This is a great soup. I did make a few adjustments to suit my family's taste. I used my leftover turkey carcass from Thanksgiving to get the broth. Boiled this most of the day and got a really rich stock with plenty of meat that fell off the bones. Also I only used 1 can of cream of chicken soup and used shredded cheese instead of the processed stuff. I used frozen green beens for the vegetable and added a tablespoon of coarsely ground black pepper for a little spice. I served this tonight with the French Bread recipe from this site along with a salad and chocolate cake for dessert. It was definitely a hit with my family.

I made this in a crockpot. Used 1 can of cream of chicken soup and one can of cream of celery soup. Added thyme, pepper and sage to enhance the soup flavor. Also used a tip from a previous review to use some parmesean cheese - as well as 1/2 of the called for processed cheese. VERY good flavor. Thank you!

This is an awesome, creamy recipe! My 5yo had 3 bowls, 3yo had 2! We scaled back on the cream of chicken (1can) and half the cheese, as I didn't want it to be too thick. I also used a turkey cutlet, half chicken broth/half water, and added pepper, fresh rosemary, basil, and sage! yum!

This was a yummy soup that was great for leftover turkey. I used leftover dark meat and 2 cans of chicken broth with about 1/2 cup of water rather than the 4 cups of water called for. Also added pepper. We really enjoyed it!

Ok Ok. This is an absolute awesome recipe!!! Here's what I did to make it even better!! First I poached my turkey. Used 3 turkey thighs, filled a big pot with water & a cup of chicken broth, waited for the water to boil,then put in my diced potatoes, cut up veggies & the 3 turkey thighs. Bring water down to a simmer, cover with lid and don't touch for 30 mins. I poured the water/chicken broth into a gravy strainer, and poured 4 cups of skimmed liquid into my croc pot. Put 1 can each Cream of Chicken & Cheddar soup {substitute for cubed cheese} & mixed it with a wire whip. Cut my turkey to mouth size bites & put in the croc. Added a half bag of Green Giant frozen mixed veggies, set on low for 4 hours. Didn't add the onions for no particular reason, will add next time. By far the most tender turkey I have ever had in soup. Incredible. Snowin' like mad here {Massachusetts} & sittin' back with a hot & hearty soup!!! TY Melody!!!!!
