This is a fabulous recipe, especially when made with my Rescued Turkey Stock (#24576). It also freezes very well.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large skillet, heat oil and saute onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms; sprinkle thyme on veggies and continue to saute until softened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. 2
    Pour turkey stock into a large pot (if you have less than 8 cups of stock, add water to make up difference) and whisk in the tomato paste; stir in sauteed veggies; turn heat to high.
  3. 3
    Stir in barley, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    When soup comes to a boil, turn heat down to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 1 hour, or until barley is tender.
  5. 5
    Stir in turkey meat and continue to simmer just until soup is heated through.

This was my first time making homemade turkey soup. I did use the Rescued Turkey Stock recipe (#24576). It was just perfect, not overstated. I ended up with closer to 12-14 cups of soup. Must of been just right cause the flavor is there. Froze some for school lunches. I'll be making this again. Thank you

    Good soup on a cool day. I made a couple of changes based on what I had handy. Used Rescued Turkey stock and doubled the barley but used ground turkey and left out celery and mushrooms. Added fresh green beans, which overpowered the flavor, so I doubled the tomato paste and vinegar and it balanced it well. Will probably do peas instead of green beans next time and can't wait to try it with mushrooms! Thanks for a keeper.

    I used your Rescued Turkey Stock # 24576 and this was the best soup ever. The next day when the soup was a little thicker we had it over rice. Wonderful recipe

    This is a wonderful, old fashioned soup with lots of flavour. We really liked it. I didn't have any thyme when I went to make this so I substituted summer savory, which worked really well. I was a little nervous about the tomato paste, but I didn't need to be, it just enhanced the flavour of the broth instead of turning it into a tomato soup. Thanks for sharing this Lennie, I'll probably be making this whenevr I have turkey leftovers.
