Truly one of the best comfort foods known to man(besides a glass of wine!)...
Turkey noodle soup
We were given a 14# turkey recently and pretty much re-created our Thanksgiving menu on Tuesday.
Lots of leftovers for those that just want a plate of turkey and fixins'....
OR
A steaming bowl of turkey noodle soup!
I choose soup.
To the turkey carcass (not pictured here for obvious reasons...just plain ugly) add maybe 2 gallons of water.
Let simmer for a couple of hours till meat has fallen off the bone.
Remove carcass and add huge bowl of chopped: onions (2), carrots (8 large), and whole bag of chopped celery.
Simmer maybe 1 hour, or till veggies are tender.
Sometimes I will add a bit of Knorr brand Tomato Boullion, and Chicken Boullion, depending on how flavorful the broth is.
At this point I add a qt container of store bought chicken STOCK... not broth...
HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Homemade noodles go in next...and when they are homemade, they literally take only about 5 minutes till tender, yet chewy.
Homemade noodles are SO easy! If you have never tried them, give it a shot.
Far easier than homemade bread or rolls.
I always make a large pot of soup...no matter what kind I am making.
Who doesn't like a bowl at lunch the next day?
And with 6 of us living under one roof...a large pot doesn't last long!
Serve with an easy bread machine/whole wheat roll recipe and it is a meal fit for the coldest of days!

I have a pot of farmer sausage corn chowder on the stove right now. What is it about the drizzly days of winter that can only be warmed with a homemade bowl of soup?
I like to add a sandwich to my soup meal — it takes me back to grade school.
Let's see, with turkey soup, probably a three-cheese grilled thing on maybe onion or pumpernickel bread?
What time do you want us?
oh, you are right on, mimi! I was just going to say that a grilled cheese would go so well!
In our house, I've found it all goes down much better if I call it "stew"... Hubby says soup is only for sick people and refuses to eat it otherwise! ;-)
Looks great to me. I don't have a turkey carcass but maybe I could do chicken. Great for winter.
Hi Cyn,
First, yes I know I don't post often and I must start posting more. Finding uninterupted time to do so is my problem, and I only have one child and a hubby! Thanks for checking up on me! :-)
Second, I came here to get the ingredients for the laundry detergent. I just HAVE to try that! I am also going to make chicken noodle (love homemade noodles!) soup on Monday. I am baking extra chicken tomorrow and will use what's left for soup!
Thanks for the great recipes/ideas!
MMMMMMMMM... Looks good! I'll take a hot bowl!

Jean...sounds like a party at Cyn's...come on over and join the group!
Comfort food for the soul! Looks absolutely delish!!! Nothing like soup when its cold!!
Blessings for a cozy day....
Even Campbells is good on a cold day...HOWEVER...truth be told there's nothing like homemade...and such a wealth of soup recipes...what's a housewife to do????
I once served a soup buffet at a small dinner party...homemade vegetable from pot roast..Cordon Bleu mushroom and wild rice and your famous shrimp/corn potato chowder in a bread bowl....yummy in my tummy.
Oh -man - this looks so good. I like to add a little olive oil to mine (via sauted garlic) I like the way the "oilies" look floating in the stock!
That looks good! I made some yellow split pea soup for the first time yesterdy :)
