I will be making a big pot of turkey soup the day after Thanksgiving! I put it in the freezer for those cold/flu days. It really does help!! Thank you for watching! Happy Thanksgiving!
@@melaniescountrycooking Thanks, Melanie! Yes, I let it simmer for quite a while, and the meat fell right off the bones! The soup came out delicious, so thanks again, and Happiest of holidays!
That looks really good! I just finished picking through the turkey we had finished for the holiday and thought what a shame it looks like so much is still going to waste that I couldn't get off the bone so the next time I have one we're going to use your recipe! Thank you for posting!!!
We LOVED this last year. I think we added some rice pilaf to thicken it after eating half of it to make it last longer. Making it again tonight. Thank you for the recipe!
You're welcome! I add noodles but only when I take it out of the freezer. The noodles don't seem to freeze well! Thanks so much for commenting & watching! :-)
That looks absolutely amazing. I wish I had seen this video before I started I don't know why you didn't show up earlier when I was looking, I will definitely be trying this next time thanks for the great video.
This is so helpful. Thank you. I am making it this way and I want to put potatoes in it. Is that perfectly acceptable and can I still freeze it with the potatoes in it?
You're welcome Don! I would not freeze it with the potatoes in it....the potatoes tend to get "grainy" when frozen. I would separate the part you are going to eat and add the potatoes (or noodles) to just that amount. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Je suis française et... grand mère !😅 Pas de fête de thanksgiving chez nous ☹ mais je suis très tentée par votre recette et je vais essayer, elle sera peut-être moins bonne que la vôtre... Merci et amitié par delà l'océan !🤚
Dominic ~ That will be a lot of turkey for soup. I wouldn't use all the turkey meat from a whole turkey. I always freeze some of the soup for a cold winter day! I hope you love it! Thanks for watching!
Hi...I have a question for you plz...I notice that everything I make turkey or chicken noodle soup and I put it in the fridge ...when I want to reheat it..and I remove the pot lid..the soup stinks...looool...I just want to know if that's normal..I thought maybe it's from the vegetables in the soup...the soup isn't bad or anything but just wondering why it stinks when it's cold?dies this happen to you?thank you
Hi Rita! Yesssss, it does smell...totally normal! As long as it hasn't been sitting in the fridge for a long time! I would say 4 days is as long as I would leave in the fridge...after that it goes in the freezer! Hope this helps! Thank you for watching! :-)
@melaniescountrycooking hello..thank you for replying back to me...I made the soup yesterday and I will store any leftovers in the freezer of course..thank you so very much!
You're welcome! The amount of spices depends on how much broth you have. I use all the broth from a large turkey in my soup and freeze most of it. If you only have a small amount of broth definitely reduce the spices. Glad you liked it even after having to remove some of the spices. Thank you for watching! It is very much appreciated! Happy Holidays!!
I use all of the broth from simmering my turkey. I would say 12-14 cups at least..BUT I make a big batch and freeze most of it. Depending on how much you want you can adjust the other ingredients to how much broth you use. Seasonings are to taste...some people like less seasoning, some more. I taste it to see if it needs more! Let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you for watching. Enjoy the Holidays!
Marilyn, Yes I do add noodles but if I'm making a big batch to freeze I wait until we are ready to use it to add the noodles. I have found that the noodles do not freeze well in this soup. Thank you for commenting and watching! It is very much appreciated!
It is turkey stock. Sorry if I said chicken a few times! You can make chicken soup the same way also. Thank you for watching! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
celery , onion, carrot and salt that is all you need, why do americans have the habit to put all those spices in everything they cook that are not necessary?
Everyone's tastes are different. You can certainly leave out the spices if you prefer. My opinion is that the spices add an extra layer of flavor. Thank you for watching! Happy Holidays! :-)
The turkey has been cooked. The carcass (bones, skin, excess meat) needs to simmer for 5 hours (or even longer) to make a good stock for your soup. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you for watching! Happy Holidays!
You will be SURPRISED at the flavor when you simmer it at least 5 hours. I let mine simmer in the crockpot over night, then pull the meat off the bones. If you use the bones, (flavor) add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to draw the flavor out of them while simmering.
I should have known better than to use 2 tsp. black pepper, but I followed the recipe. BIG mistake, way too peppery for my taste. Ruined the whole pot in my opinion. Should have stuck to one tsp. only. Never again.
I'm sorry Cheryl! I used the carcass from a 24 pound turkey, so there was a LOT of broth. I just put a note on this recipe indicating this was for a BIG pot of soup. I appreciate you watching! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
A trick I found out when I put too much pepper in a soup, I froze it anyway not to waste it and when you defrost it awhile l;ater, the pepper was not strong like before I froze it
YAH😊some turkey soup recipe EVER! This recipe will be one of my go to cold/flu season herbal tinctures.❤
I will be making a big pot of turkey soup the day after Thanksgiving! I put it in the freezer for those cold/flu days. It really does help!! Thank you for watching! Happy Thanksgiving!

Merry Christmas Mark! I hope you love it! The longer you let the carcass simmer the better it is! Thank you for watching!
@@melaniescountrycooking Thanks, Melanie! Yes, I let it simmer for quite a while, and the meat fell right off the bones! The soup came out delicious, so thanks again, and Happiest of holidays!
@@markh.2899 It's amazing how much meat is left on the bones! Simmering it gets it all off! Thanks again Mark! Happy New Year!!

Gonna try that but I have to cook one .just me so I may use the whole turkey in the soup any tips
Dominic ~ That will be a lot of turkey for soup. I wouldn't use all the turkey meat from a whole turkey. I always freeze some of the soup for a cold winter day! I hope you love it! Thanks for watching!
I didn't see the bowl under the strainer. At first I was "noooooooo."
LOL Gary! I actually have done that before!!! Learned my lesson! Thank you for watching! Happy New Year!
Chicken or turkey, confused
This was turkey soup. But you could definitely use chicken also! Thank you for watching!
@@melaniescountrycookingshe’s confused cause you said chicken stock twice
Yes! It was turkey stock! I did say chicken a few times.. oops!!
Either
Hi...I have a question for you plz...I notice that everything I make turkey or chicken noodle soup and I put it in the fridge ...when I want to reheat it..and I remove the pot lid..the soup stinks...looool...I just want to know if that's normal..I thought maybe it's from the vegetables in the soup...the soup isn't bad or anything but just wondering why it stinks when it's cold?dies this happen to you?thank you

@@ritabb9692 You're welcome Rita! Enjoy your weekend! 🙂
I used this recipe but I found that 3 tsp of all the spices was way too much. I sifted out a lot of it. Otherwise it was very good. Thanks.
You're welcome! The amount of spices depends on how much broth you have. I use all the broth from a large turkey in my soup and freeze most of it. If you only have a small amount of broth definitely reduce the spices. Glad you liked it even after having to remove some of the spices. Thank you for watching! It is very much appreciated! Happy Holidays!!
So would you recommend 2 tsp then
@melaniescountrycooking thank you
@melaniescountrycooking I want to add noodles when should I add after the flour mixtures or before?
@@lindajohnson5782 If you have 4-6 cups of broth I would only add 1 - 1/2 tsps of each spice. Hope this helps!
You had precise amounts except for the pot size.
Hi Tim! I use my large stock pot which I believe is 12 quarts. Thanks for watching! :-)
You didn’t say how many cups of broth is in the soup recipe.
I use all of the broth from simmering my turkey. I would say 12-14 cups at least..BUT I make a big batch and freeze most of it.

@@melaniescountrycooking Thank you. We have a lot to be thankful for. Not just tomorrow but everyday. God bless.
Add noodles, it'll make the broth thicker
Marilyn, Yes I do add noodles but if I'm making a big batch to freeze I wait until we are ready to use it to add the noodles. I have found that the noodles do not freeze well in this soup. Thank you for commenting and watching! It is very much appreciated!
You keep saying chicken stock. I thought it was turkey stock???

Is it already cooked five hours? That’s a long time for soup
The turkey has been cooked. The carcass (bones, skin, excess meat) needs to simmer for 5 hours (or even longer) to make a good stock for your soup. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you for watching! Happy Holidays!

You know it's good cause she used Tupperware
HAHA!! That stuff has stood the test of time!! I still use Tupperware all the time!! Thanks for commenting & watching! :-)

Soup is what's left in the dishwasher after a real meal
LOL
