This was the best turkey soup I've ever made. The difference: the addition of the leftover stuffing, which I would never have considered. I was a little leery of what it might do to the texture, but it was totally fine, no mushiness or soggy bread texture. The only changes I made were to leave out the poultry seasoning and sage, as I felt the stuffing would provide the needed flavors, and it did. It was really delicious, and I will definitely make it whenever I have the opportunity.

Awesome recipe for using up your leftovers after a holiday! Instead of adding chicken broth, I just boiled my turkey carcass for 4-6 hours and ended up with very flavorful broth without the added salt (and expense) of canned chicken broth. The huge amount of flavor in my broth could be because my turkey was injected with cajun seasoning and fried though! I boiled the carcass the day before I planned to make the soup so I could refrigerate it and skim off some of the fat. I was lucky enough to have a few cups of turkey meat left over that I added to this soup also. I used only about a cup of rice instead of two cups since this has extra carbs from the stuffing and used my leftover green bean casserole and a large can of veg-all instead of the frozen peas for more nutritional value. This recipe is great! Who would have thought to use stuffing in a soup? And since it has stuffing, of course you have to add any leftover gravy that you might have also ;o) This soup smelled heavenly while it cooked. Thank you!

This was so easy and tasty. I had two turkey carcassas & no stuffing, so I used 2 boxes of boxed turkey flavored stuffing mix, followed everything else except for adding leftover gravy, didn't have that on hand. It came out soooo good! Already decided on Turkey for Christmas just to have the excuse to make this soup again!Thanks for submitting!

OMG! Really loved that fact that nothing is wasted after Thanksgiving. I didn't have the carcass so I used the leftover chicken stock I had, also added 4 cups of water to stretch it out. Other than that I followed the recipe and it turned out great! My hubby was very happy :)

Didn't have time to make this soup the day after Thanksgiving so I froze my turkey carcass until yesterday (1 week after Thanksgiving). I did roast the carcass for about 40 mins. @350 first because brown food tastes best! I made this soup and I used brown rice instead of white rice since that's just like styrofoam so I cooked the soup with the rice for about 1 hour. I did use 3 qts. of home made chicken stock. This was great! Thanks.

I made this yesterday using okra instead of peas. it was sooooooo good. Not only was it satisfying but the aroma while cooking made it seem festive. We finished feeling like we had just had thanksgiving diner again. I will freeze the next turkey carcus so I can make it on a cold winter day when we need a little comfort.

This soup was very good. My son in law, not only had a big bowl for dinner, but also took it for his luch the next day. We just added the left over gravy to give it more body.

good recipe. left out the peas, since after tasting thought it was complete, and doubled both the carrots and celery. Also substituted half the broth for water, and added a little salt. Added a clove of chopped garlic and, like others, was really skeeved out mixing the stuffing in with the turkey before it was cleaned. The recipe isn't specific, but once the turkey is done boiling, you need to go through it really well to pull out bones and fat. Added stuffing after turkey was cleaned, and used much less rice.
