Reviews
This soup was great. The broth had a great depth of flavor. I did add three chicken bouillon cubes, plus some Mrs. Dash and a little more salt than the recipe calls for, but my turkey had very little salt in it to begin with. Overall a wonderful recipe and I will make it again.
This soup is outstanding! I cut the recipe in half for the two of us, and used the carcass from a 6-pound chicken. The broth was easy to make and the soup was delicious. I will definitely be making this again!
Wow! What a surprise. This is very tasty... It's rare I make something like soup and don't change a thing... but this recipe didn't need any changes! Super yummy. I made Apple Cider Biscuits to accompany this for dunking in the yummy broth.
Wonderful, ful of flavor and filling as well it's going to be a staple.
