I want to make soup with my left over turkey what should I put in it?

Question

I have turkey, corn, carrots, celery, and rice. What else should I use?
How long should I cook it for?

Answer 1

Water or chicken broth, perhaps some potatoes, even a few noodles [bow tie or elbow] to thicken it up a bit...some seasoning...pepper, salt,onions are a must...if everything is already cooked just add it all to a large pot and bring to a boil , then immediately turn it down for about 30-40 minutes to let all the flavors come together....reheating it is even better. Now I'm getting hungry!!

you can put onions in the soup which brings out the flavor, maybe some potatoes. Cook until the carrots or potatoes are soft.

Answer 4

what you have sounds good...

you can add potatos, onion, or cabbage too.
if there's not enough broth, you can add some chicken broth to it also, or even some noodles depends on what you like..

Cook it till the veggies are soft. at a med temp. (45 min- 1hour). the longer it cooks the more flavor it will have to.
