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 ...
