Easy enough!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This my first soup EVER; it came out pretty good. Not tons of flavor, but nothing that a little salt and extra parsley... couldn't fix. I did it over the course of two days and none of the actual work took much time. Not bad!Read more

Yummy, Hearty Soup with a few Modifications
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I followed the directions exactly (added mushrooms) and the soup came out good...but WAY too much rice...it soaked up all of... the juice, it was more of a MUSH than a soup! Next year I will probably use 1/2 cup of rice (you could always add more if need be), I would also probably throw in another cup of chopped turkey. I did not season the soup it and it came out very bland...I would definetly add some of your favorite seasonings as it is not flavorful by itself. It was delicous with sourdough. QUICK FIX for thick soup...I added some chicken broth before I heated it up. Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the first time my turkey soup was excellent & I wanted to save the recipe! I never seemed to like the ones with... noodles...but the rice and the flavors made everyone in my family love this soup. This will become a staple after my holiday turkeys! Read more

Amazing soup!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I ADORE this soup!!! We make it every year after Thanksgiving and it always turns out amazingly well! We add enough water to... cover the turkey carcass, because 8 cups wouldn't be near enough, especially after all that time, some of it simmers away. But we don't make any changes other than that because it's great the way it is. Read more

Too Much Rice!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe would be perfect, if it had a reasonable suggestion for the amount of rice. Using 1 cup of uncooked enriched... white rice made a perfectly seasoned, delicious, rice mush... (I still love it). Reading Patrica's review I thought that I like a lot of rice in my soup, but 1 cup is WAYYYYYYYYYY too much. If you're going with a wild rice I think a cup might work, but if you're going with uncooked white, try a half cup (for very rice-y soup) or less. I also used elton's turkey recipe and left the aromatics in the carcass, added a nice flavor to the broth.Read more

Excellent Day-After-Thanksgiving Meal
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We wowed our guests by serving this soup. To add a little extra pizazz, we added wild rice to the recipe. Yum!
