I have NOT made this yet but it sounds wonderful..several reviewers mention cooking this in the crock pot and I would like to as well but being new to crock pot cooking I'm not sure how long to cook it for. Would anyone be willing to elaborate on the best way to cook this in a crock pot please? Thank you in advance!

This is a recipe I have been making for years and my mother made before me. Carrots, celery, onions and mushrooms are the only vegi's I put in it. You don't need to add chicken broth if you start with a whole carcass with plenty of meat on it. For a really good change when you don't have a holiday turkey to start from use smoked turkey legs, which I have found in the grocery store. Noodles or rice works well in this soup. A recipe for this does it no justice, it's a recipe you can make up as you go and use whatever sounds good in it!

I made this about 1 month ago and intended to freeze it for the winter! It didn't make it to the freezer as it was gobbled up! I followed the recipe almost completely. I added carrots instead of the frozen veggies. I also used a turkey carcass that was smoked on the grill, it added such a wonderful flavor!!

This is the 1st time I've tried a turkey soup and this was excellent but I did make some changes. I also skipped the broth and just used water. Instead of beans I added in my roasted potatoes that I had leftover and I added 2 cans of cream of chicken soup (low sodium). This added just the right flavor and made the turkey flavor a littler milder. My whole family loved it.

Have tried to make a good turkey bone soup 3 times, this is my third recipe. First, the photo is unappetizing. Mine did not look like that, mine was more green from the oregano, basil and frozen spinach I added. The recipe was very easy to make. Hubby did not like it, I thought it tasted okay but nothing to brag about. I liked the kidney beans, never had a turkey bone soup recipe with them before.

I didnt do the part about putting it all in a blender. I put the stock in the refridgerator overnight to skim off the fat the next day. I used a can of butter beans and Rice a Roni, long grain rice, and some brown rice. It came out great, didn't really have to use any more spices.

We found the meat from the bones was quite enough without adding the additional breast. A good, wholesome average soup.

This soup turned out pretty good! Actually the best that I've ever made. I never followed a recipe before, so that's probably why! haha Wasn't too sure about the kidney beans, but had them in the cupboard, so I threw them in. They were great :) I will follow this recipe again in the future. oh! I forgot to mention that instead of adding the frozen veggies, I added the leftover steamed veggies from thanksgiving dinner. So I threw in the carrots, broccoli, and brussel sprouts into the blender with the 1/2 cups of stock. I also only had 1/2 cup of rice, so I added a 1/2 cup of orzo. I found that this soup was even better the second day... and with a couple squirts of smoky tabasco in my bowl!

Delish! My family likes their food spiced up and my soups have alwalys been bland. I followed this recipe to a T with one exception- I used orzo instead of rice. Perfect blend of seasonings to give it a perfect kick. Will definitelly make this again and again! Thanks!

This recipe did not work for us. It turned out to be very sweet which turned us off completely, it smelled ok but tasted awful. However, I loved the idea of pureeing the onion and celery which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.
