    Like a few other reviewers I was shocked at how easy, and how GOOD, this soup was. I was extremely skeptical about the stuffing dumplings but they came out great. The flavors in the broth are to die for, and the house smelled great. Nice job, great recipe.

    This recipe is great - I made a few extra additions - I always do - but the base recipe is wonderful.

    Since I was a child and teen in Chicago, this soup approach was used (except the pot was left on simmer for 24 hours...using carcass , etc. The leftover dressing was eaten only while eating leftover turkey and potatoes.

    I have not made this soup yet because we have not made a post-holidays turkey dinner. What we have done is roasted chickens stuffed with dressing. We made multiple chickens so we woulf have lefy overs. The next day, we did exactly as recipe requires. THE DUMPLINGS WERE GREAT! We now have a new use for leftover dressing, Thanks for the wonderful surprise.

    I used my bread stuffing for the dumplings and I did't care for them at all. I should have made a smaller pot of this soup as I used what little stuffing I had left.

    This was a perfect recipe for me as I had already made my stock using Emeril's "Turkey Bone Stock" and it was sitting in the refrigerator. My particular dressing held together well according to the directions provided when making the dumplings and the soup was rich and flavorful. We had some leftover "drop biscuits" made in muffin tins and used those to "sop up" the broth in the soup. I used a little less stock than stated; probably about 8 cups and it turned out fine.

    Here's the scoop. I'm sick today and was desperate for soup, but of course didn't feel like spending much time on making anything. This hit the spot!! But as you can imagine I wasn't quite feeling up to all the prep, so here's what I did.

    Sauted up the onions, garlic and added some poblano's to give it a little kick. I had some shredded zuchini I had left-over and then realized I was out of vegetables! So I opened a bag of frozen mixed vegetable and stock, whipped up the dumplings and in 20minutes I had some serious Soup!

    Wes - you're a genious!

    Fantastic! I already used our Thanksgiving carcass for turkey noodle soup with homemade noodles but yesterday I roasted a chicken in the rotisserie for supper and I used the carcass for this soup recipe. In using a smaller chicken and adding more water to serve extra folks I did have to add some jarred chicken broth to provide enough flavor and I also didn?t have fresh thyme so I used dried. No leftover corn, so I left it out. I went into my pantry to see what I could use and found rice with three handfuls left in the bag. In went the rice and all the other ingredients listed in the recipe. My sister thoroughly enjoyed the stuffing dumplings as did all of us. This is a keeper. My kiddos call it ?Chicken, Rice, and Stuffing balls soup?. This is a soup that let?s me stretch my budget. Thanks for a great recipe and one that can be tweaked!

    Great soup and great way to use all leftovers. I didn't have thyme so I replaced with rosemary and I added some mushrooms as well. I had to make more dumplings because everyone kept eating them and the soup. Thanks for the recipe and it feels good not to throw away any leftovers this year.

    Well, how to begin? Im excited to have this recipe in my collection as Im considered to be an excellent cook/baker. Wes, you make me look GOOD! This is delicious and wholesome eating. It presents well, too. I had left over sauage-sourdough dressing so these flavors combine very nicely. Im a soup lover and this is one of my new faves. Thank you, Wes!

    I loved this soup - of course it might have been my delicious stuffing that added just the right flavor... kidding. But seriously it was really good! I had to cook my turkey carcass for longer to get the flavor of stock I wanted - and finally resorted to a tablespoon of Chicken stock starter, but in the end it was worth it. The stuffing dumplings we really delicious and even through I didn't have any corn leftovers or fresh thyme (I used dried - the soup was still great.
