I’m saying, just give it a try and then after you made it and eaten this delicious soup, send me a message to share with me what you think….. Plus you can share with me your favourite soup recipe to try.

Ingredients Tick them off

Method Tap a step to keep your place

  1. In large boiler add 12 cups of water or stock, 2 cups turkey or what you would like, start the boil on your turkey bones until all turkey meat have removed from the bones, remove all bones from pot.

  2. Then add 2 cups chopped onions, 6 celery sticks chopped, 3 cubes of garlic pressed or grated ,1 tbsp fresh ginger chopped or grated, (sea salt) optional or part cooked salt beef and pepper , 2 cubes of chicken stock, if you use water instead of broth.

  3. Bring everything to a boil then add all your vegetables continue cooking for 1 hour then last 10 minutes add your noodles or rice, your choice. You can cook your noodles or rice separate and add to soup after cooked.

  4. Turn your heat down on low then let soup simmer until you are ready to serve, or remove from heat.

  1. You can add fresh herbs or savoury to your soup then stir it in.

  2. Helpful Tips: Bottle your soup it will keep in your fridge for 7 days, this recipe will make 12 one cup bottles. You must bottle while your soup is hot, pour hot soup in your bottles seal on caps let set on counter until room temperature then store in fridge. If you like to freeze soup , after your soup have cooked let pot of soup cool to room temperature then scoop up in freezer containers , date each container store in freezer.

  3. If you are using leftover turkey from your roasted turkey, cut off pieces to use for your soup. But if you like using the bones and dark meat boil first and remove any bones before adding vegetables.

      Hi Bonita, I made this soup and all in all it tasted pretty darn good ,but, the instructions could be a little clearer, you say 1/4 of a cup of turnip,that was one slice off of my turnip,soni added more ,6 sticks of cererly is what exactly,sticks of cererly are all different sizes ,maybe say like a cup or 2 cups chopped would be better ,this is of course just my humble opinion, I’m by no means saying anything bad, I love your recipes and especially your white and molasses bread ,made them both and loved them ,thank you for everything 🥰🥰

      1. Hi David: Thank you so much for your lovely message and for stopping… I will make a few changes to the writing part of that recipe and understand totally it’s hard to measure in cups with those vegetables. I’m so glad you are enjoying our recipes and thank you so much for taking a few minutes to let me know.. Bless you. Hope your day and week is going well. Bonita

      When I was stationed at CFB Gander I travelled with the Base old-timer hockey team to the volunteer fire department for a friendly game of hockey. The firefighters, as hosts, treated us to a meal of turkey neck soup. one of the ingredients were chopped up beet greens. i’ve wanted to make this soup for some time now. Have you ever used beet greens?

      1. Bonita

        Hi John: Thank you for your message and for stopping by and letting me know a little about you…I’m so glad you found my recipe and you are wanting to make it..This is one of my Dads favourite soups to make. Personally I’ve never used beet leaves for soup or salads. I have heard of people using them for a number of recipes and eating them fresh in a salad. My Dad was a local organic farmer and grow beet to make pickled beets only. But over the years I like making beet soup, salads and I even wrote a recipe for beet dip. But not the leaves.
        You can for sure give it a try even if it’s only in a small saucepan to see if it’s nice. But use celery, leeks, green or white onions all will bring this soup together. Please follow up and let us know how it goes.
        Thank you
