This soup is made after every turkey we've ever had. I grew up on this wonderful soup my mom has been making forever. The only difference is that she uses rice instead of our stuffing, because there's never any left.

I didn't have any stuffing- but used everything else listed. I also included 2 bay leafs, 10 peppercorns, and some kosher salt. Turned out really well. I think the gravy gave it alot of additional flavour. Thanks Chia.

I knew when I saw that this was from marion Cunningham that it would be great. This was the best turkey soup that I'd ever made. I had a wonderfully spiced gravy so I did not add any of the spices. I love the addition of the stuffing. I made two batches of this soup, both in my crockpot. I used fresh turkey stock for the first, and canned chicken broth for the second. I really couldn't tell any difference between the two. I also cooked one batch with stuffing and in the other I added the stuffing on top of soup (as a garnish). Both were great, although I love the idea of adding it with the soup. It got really soft( even though my stuffing was the crusty stuff at the bottom of my crock pot), almost like a dumpling. The gravy was the perfect touch. Thank you Chia for this wonderful recipe. It is the only one I will use from now on!

My family LOVED this soup! I used a carcass from a 7 lb. roaster chicken and it was wonderful. Unfortunately, I found out too late that someone had eaten my leftover stuffing, so I had to skip that and I used noodles instead. Next time, hopefully I'll be able to try the stuffing, but it was still great this way. Thanks for posting. With your recipes, I'm getting pretty good at this soup making stuff
