I made this tonight and used up the rest of our leftover turkey. I also threw in some leftover green beans, boiled onions, and mashed potatoes for thickener. It was very tasty--real comfort food.

I think there's a mistake in the ingredients/instructions. It calls for 2 1/2 cuts of turkey broth, divided, but then in the directions says to add 2 cups broth and milk, then 3 cups broth. So it seems to call for 5 cups all together, but that wasn't clear to me. In any case, I just added broth until it looked right.

Serves 4 (I doubled it)

Ingredients

1/8 cup butter

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1 cup frozen sliced carrots, thawed and drained (I used fresh and more than called for)

1/8 cup flour

2 1/2 cups turkey broth, divided (I used chicken broth)

1 cup mile or 1 cup cream

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/16 tsp cayenne pepper (I skipped this; didn't feel like digging it out)

1/2 tsp dried parsley

1 1/2 cups chopped cooked turkey

4 ounces noodles (fusilli, rotini or similar--I skipped this)

Directions

1. Saute onions and carrots in butter until soft, not brown.

2. Add flour and mix well.

3. Gradually add 2 cups broth and milk.

4. Cook and stir until it thickens.

5. Stir in remaining 3 cups of broth and all remaining ingredients

6. Simmer 10-12 minutes until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.

 
It was really good. I always wonder why I don't make soup more often.

And this gave me a chance to use the soup bowls in my Christmas china set. smileys/smile.gif

 
That looks really good and I do believe it is the first time I have seen a recipe calling for frozen

carrots.
