Turkey Soup

 


Whenever I make a whole turkey or chicken, I turn the leftovers into second or third meals.   One way to do this is to make soup.   You can use not only the leftover carcass of the turkey/chicken to make stock but the leftover vegetables from previous meals in the soup.  


Ingredients

  • 1-2 Cups of Shredded  Turkey

  • 8 Cups of Turkey Stock

  • 1 Medium Onion- Chopped

  • 2-3 Stalks of Celery- Chopped

  • ½ Cup of Chopped Kale

  • ½ Tablespoon of Chopped Garlic 

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

  • 1-2 Cups of Noodles

  • Parmesan Cheese


NOTE- I make my own turkey stock from the bones and vegetable ends at the end of our large turkey meals.     The link is attached to the picture if you want to learn how. 

 


Directions 

  1. After preparing all of your ingredients, I layer them into my crockpot in the following manner: carrots, onion, celery, kale, garlic, turkey, and spices.  

     


  1. Finally, I add the stock to cover and stir slightly. 



  1. Set the Crockpot for 6-7 hours on Low.  


  1. Stir the soup and prepare the noodles separately.   I like to use egg noodles but if you don’t have any in the pantry, a box of elbow macaroni works well. 


  1. Add the noodles to the soup.      



  1. I like to serve this soup topped with parmesan cheese.     


What do you like to add to your Turkey Soup?

Menu Planning #132

Our meals need to be nutritious, clean, flexible, quick and cost effective. Between our work schedules and after school activities, we need to carefully plan our meals so that we do not end up ordering out.   The news is very scary at this time because of all the news of meat plants shutting down, grocery stories limiting the amount of meat a family can purchase and all of the talk about a depression on the horizon.    We have decided to keep our grocery budget the same, but to economize any way we can.     This week we tried to pick up some shrimp that was on sale, but the store was out of shrimp and not expecting to get any more in.    We were grateful to find wild caught salmon for the same price, so we picked that up instead for our Mother’s Day Dinner.    What did we spend?  Week 1: $96.44 Kroger: $96.44 Rebates: $3.55 IBOTTA: $1.35 Kroger Cash: $0.45 Checkout 51: $1.75 ...

Frugal Five: #133

  With inflation rising and salaries staying the same, our ability to make ends meet is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, we must be more careful with our money. The Frugal Five is a series that celebrates the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     This year, my focus is on Simple Abundance , so finding ways to live well while staying on budget will be challenging.    Come along and enjoy my journey of elevating joy, enjoying what you have, and finding luxury in my local area.    1- Giving Back to the Community  Supporting your community can take countless shapes. Some people choose to write a check, and that generosity absolutely matters. But many outreach efforts require more than funding—they need time, hands, and hearts willing to show up. I’m grateful that I’m able to participate in several programs that make a real difference for the people around me. One of the most meaningful ways I give b...

Keeping Cool without an AC- Part 2

  The news is full of headlines indicating that energy shortages are on the horizon for most of the world. Over the decades, we have become reliant on the coolness of our air conditioners and have forgotten how we survived without them. It is now time to rediscover how to stay cool without our AC. Our 5 part series provides ideas on how to beat the heat this summer without the AC.     Water to the Rescue Sweating is the body's natural defense to combating the heat, so staying hydrated is essential to maintaining your core temperature. I enjoy drinking ice-cold drinks in the summer. Keeping your drinks to water or herbal tea is also helpful.    Since your blood flows close to the surface of your feet, ankle and toes, cooling down this area is helpful to cool your entire body. I like to soak my feet in a shallow bowl with a cool herbal water mix. My mix includes Epsom salts, eucalyptus, and/or peppermint oils.    Taking a cold shower and g...
