What is the best soup recipe you know?

Using left over turkey or chicken. Simmer carcass in 2 quarts of chicken broth or water for 30 minutes. Remove carcass from broth and let cool. Add any kind of pasta, rice, bow tie, egg noodles etc. Add one can of large vegetables, I use Vegall brand and cook until pasta is done. Remove all the meat from the carcass, chop and put into soup pot. My entire family loves it.





I even made turkey gumbo one time using leftover Cajun Turkey. I added rice, okra, diced tomatoes and file' gumbo spice to the broth and it was wonderful.What is the best soup recipe you know?

Ingredients





* 1 pound leeks, cleaned and dark green sections removed, approximately 4 to 5 medium


* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter


* Heavy pinch kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning


* 14 ounces, approximately 3 small, Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small


* 1 quart vegetable broth


* 1 cup heavy cream


* 1 cup buttermilk


* 1/2 teaspoon white pepper


* 1 tablespoon snipped chives





Directions





Chop the leeks into small pieces.





In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.





Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.





Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.What is the best soup recipe you know?

Add a small carton of cream (half n half works-- milk is too thin) add the chicken and simmer another 10 minutes or so.


If it's not thick enough, mix a little cornstarch with a little cold water and add to the soup at a boil. This is also good served over pasta the next day.
