Taisen's Leftover Turkey Soup
- 1 leftover turkey ( you can add in the legs with bones or pull the meat off like I do )
- 2 cans green beans
- 2 cans carrots ( I used fresh carrots this time )
- 2 cans of peas
- 1 you can change any vegetable you want. you can add corn , lima beans . anything you like
- 2 to 3 large potatoes ( peeled and cut up )
- 1 bag of noodles ( any kind )
- 1 vegetable stock or turkey stock ( I use one box of vegetable stock , about 16 ounces , sometimes more. you can also use the bullion cubes and make your own )
- 1 left over turkey gravy ( my recipe for mine will follow after this and I will add it here )
- 1 medium diced onion
- 1 salt to your taste
- 1 pepper to your taste
- 2 to 5 teaspoons of garlic powder ( to your taste, you can add more or use 1 to 2 cloves minced )
- 1 a few pinches of sage ( you can use basil or thyme as well )
- If you still have meat on the turkey , pull it off and put it into your crock pot.
- I already had mine off and into a dish that was in my fridge along with 2 legs.
- I pull the meat off the legs to go in but you can leave it on the bone and toss in.
- Pour in turkey or vegetable stock.
- Enough to cover the meat and vegetables.
- Turn crock pot on to medium heat.
- High heat if you want it faster.
- I let this sit on medium for 4 hours then go to low for another hour or two
- Add in all of your vegetables, onion and potatoes.
- Add in your seasonings.
- Stir.
- Add in your leftover turkey gravy .
- Stir.
- As you can see , there are clumps because I didn't warm it up which is fine, just mix it in well and as it warms up it will blend well
- Cover the crock pot with lid.
- Cook for 4 to 8 hours depending on settings and how long you want it sitting.
- Stir every so often and check fluid level.
- Make sure everything is covered in liquid.
- I ended up transferring the soup to a large pot because my crock pot didn't have enough room .
- 30 to 40 minutes before serving, cook your pasta noodles.
- Drain them and add into the crock pot.
- Mix / stir well.
- Allow it to simmer for about 25 minutes.
- ( you can add the noodles in and cook them , but every time I try it doesn't turn out so I do it this way )
- Serve with warm buttered rolls or anything else .
- Enjoy !
