Stay warm with this Rich & Creamy Soup: Turkey Soup

With cooler temperatures quickly arriving and the holidays right around the corner, you might want to save this recipe for that leftover turkey you will soon acquire.

A turkey baking in the oven is one of my favorite smells. I don’t know why, but there is something comforting about it.

Now, what to do with the leftover turkey? Make Turkey Soup, of course!!

I use the turkey carcass to make broth. It makes such a rich broth that is not only good for you but adds wonderful flavor to your soup as well.

Turkey Soup

1 turkey carcass 1 cup of butter

4 quarts of water 1- 1/ 2 cups of flour

1 large onion, chopped 2 cups of Fagan Family Farm milk

3 stalks celery, chopped 3 cups diced cooked turkey

3 large potatoes, diced salt & pepper to taste

In a large soup pot, cook turkey carcass with water to make 3 quarts of broth. Remove bones and reserve meat for soup. Strain the broth. After straining, add the chopped vegetables to 1 quart of broth and bring to a boil. Allow the vegetables to cook for at least 20 minutes or until tender. Add in the diced turkey, your farm-fresh milk, and the remaining 2 quarts of broth. Melt the butter on the stove or in a microwave and whisk in the flour. Add the flour mixture to your soup and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
