I know that I have asked myself this question everytime I make a turkey but especially at Thanksgiving time, since I am known for making too big of turkey then I really need. So my Josh asked if I would make him some soup. So I went through my recipes and found this one which called for chicken but I substituted turkey for it and it was very yummy. So here is my recipe for Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup.
2 Chicken breast, shredded
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 large can chopped mushrooms
1 cup flour
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups prepared Wild Rice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups half and half
1. Melt butter in large soup pot, then saute onions, celery, and carrots.
2. Stir in the flour and slowly add the broth until thickened and smooth
3. Stir in rice and chicken, reduce heat and simmer.
4. Then add the half and half and mushrooms pieces, let it simmer, stirring occassionally.
Beware that this is a very thick soup and it is very filling. But it is very tasty and warms you from the inside out.
I really hope you enjoy and you now have another option for all that leftover turkey.
