Once the salmon is cooked, take a spatula and break it up, pouring in one cup of either whole milk or %2 milk along with one cup of parmesan cheese and stirring to combine.

This Easy Turkey Noodle Soup is an excellent recipe to have on hand after the holidays, as it utilize your leftover turkey’s carcass and even the gravy if you so desire.
This Easy Turkey Noodle Soup is a great recipe to make, that utilizes the whole bird.
You can put almost any type of vegetable into this soup.
I used carrots and kale as it was what I had on hand. But really any type of vegetable will work!
EASY TURKEY NOODLES SOUP WITH CARCASS
So you probably know how good homemade chicken noodle soup is, but have you tried homemade turkey noodle soup? Well then you are in for something special. Because it is rich as it uses the whole carcus of the turkey!
If you have leftover gravy as well then you are going to want to add that in this soup too, trust me people will be begging for this recipe. It’s that good 🙂
I will typically make a BIG pot of turkey noodle soup the day after the holidays or the night of.
This way I am not wasting any food by utilizing the leftover turkey and gravy.
What I will do is fill a stock pot up with water and then I will put the carcass from my leftover Turkey inside.
Then all there is to do is simply boil the bird for a good 30 minutes or more.
Then I will remove the bird and skim away anything that looks less appealing and use the remaining broth as my soup stock.
Now there are plenty of ways to make this kind of soup, so I’m going to give you a few options here and let you decide what works best for you.
Really you cannot go wrong with making this soup, it’s healthy and also an excellent recipe to keep on hand after the holidays when you have leftover turkey.
When I talk options, I mean you can decide what type of noodle to place in the soup and vegetables.
For the noodles there are thick or thin, large and small, options.
So the type you use totally depends on what you prefer, however I do recommend using “egg noodles” because they are much lighter and work so much better in this kind of soup.
If you are feeling under the weather, feel free to add more garlic and onions to the stock as they carry antibacterial properties and have been proven to help people get better much faster.
I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
Note: If you have a leftoverturkey, then you can omit the chicken stock and simmer your turkey carcass for one hour in 8 cups of water, covered.
And use the turkey stock in replace if the chicken stock. Also use the leftover white turkey breast instead of buying turkey breasts as that works great too for this soup.

HOW TO MAKE MUSHROOM AND SPINACH GNOCCHI
In order to make it more savory vs creamy, I balance the dish with vegetable stock and sour cream which helps to bring forth the herbs and spices that are also added during the cooking process.
If you want to make it SIMPLY more creamy, mix some cream and the vegetable stock together. Just make sure your halving the vegetable stock so there is not to much liquid.
Or if you want it really creamy just use cream on it’s own.

This Tortellini Kale Sausage Soup is one of those soups that you will want to make a big old pot of and enjoy over a few days.
Believe it or not but this soup even tastes better the second day, it’s absolutely delicious!
I have always loved Italian type soups and have been testing out a few of these tortellini sausage recipes over the past year. And decided to finally share my favorite version of it with you today! Mine is pretty similar to allot of those Italian Tortellini soup recipes you will find out there.
However mine has a few differences such as mine will use kale instead of spinach and celery instead of the carrots.
Not to sure why almost all Italian tortellini soups call for carrots these days, but to me that is so wrong. Oh and mine also has a fair amount of parmesan cheese and absolutely “no cream”.
The tomatoes and cheese will make it creamy enough!
I like to use canned tomatoes because it really helps to make this soup super creamy without all the extra fat. I do not recommend using chunked canned tomatoes as some other recipes will have you.
Unless you want a stew not a soup!
Also if you are planning to enjoy this soup over a couple of days, then you will want to add one more cup of chicken stock since the tortellini tends to soak it up overnight.
I really like to use “spicy italian sausage” for this recipe. Trust me you won’t even notice the spice, however if you cannot get your hands on it.
Then I would recommend adding in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
You do want a little kick added to those crushed tomatoes, it really helps to pick up the flavor.
So that is about it along with some onions, celery and extra spices you too can be enjoying one of the best bowls of Tortellini Kale Sausage Soup.
Also you can use “Passata Sauce” in replace of the stewed canned tomatoes if you desire. Both products work very well for this soup, so it’s totally up to you!
So if your craving a soup to warm you up, but also want a hearty meal. Then this Parmesan Tortellini Kale Sausage Soup will hit the spot!
Notes: Also keep in mind, as with all my recipes. If you want to make more or less of this soup, simple adjust the serving size in the ingredients section above and the servings will automatically adjust for you. This soup can store in the fridge for up to 3 days and or freeze for up to 3 months.

This Best Chicken Tortellini Soup has fresh asparagus along with kale it it. It is one of those soups that you will want to make a big old pot of and enjoy over a few days.
If your craving a soup to warm you up, but also want a hearty meal. Then this Soup is sure to hit the spot! Not only does it tastes good it is also very healthy for you.
WHAT IS CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP
The reason I call this tortellini soup the best, is because it is! Yes, I know it’s not traditional to put asparagus and kale in this type of soup. And i’m aware that most of these types of recipes call for carrots.
But for me I much prefer these veggies!! Don’t you?
You can also replace the kale with spinach if desired. What I like most about making this soup is that it can be enjoyed over a few days. Because it keeps very well in the fridge and even tastes better the second day!
CAN YOU FREEZE CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP
Yes, up to three months!
Absolutely delicious!
I have always loved chicken noodle soup, however it is nice to try different versions of it now and again, right?
This soup is allot like Chicken Noodle soup, but we are omitting the noodles and carrots and uses tortellini along with kale and asparagus instead.
It’s pretty similar to allot of those other Chicken Tortellini soup recipes, however mine uses more vegetables and is more on the healthy side.
What makes the soup creamy is the mixture of the chicken stock, cream and parmesan cheese. Some recipes will have you using all cream and of course that will make it ultra creamy. However for this soup I wanted it to be lower in fat and also stay true to a chicken noodle type soup base.
Such a fantastic soup to have simmering on the stovetop when your not feeling so great or heck even when you are.
I like to use better than bouillon chicken stock when making most of my soups. So I will mix just the right amount of that with water for the stock.
Plus using mostly stock vs cream really helps to make this soup super creamy without all the extra fat. Of course you can use whatever chicken stock you have on hand, just be sure it is not laddled with to much salt.
Also, you will want to allow the asparagus to simmer for a least 15 minutes along with the chicken to ensure both are super tender prior to adding the tortellini and kale.
If you are planning to enjoy this soup over a couple of days, then you will want to add one more cup of chicken stock as well, since the tortellini tends to soak it up overnight.
I really like to use “Herb Chicken Tortellini” for this recipe. However you can use whatever brand you like most. Also if you want a little heat to this soup then I would recommend adding in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Also keep in mind, as with all my recipes.
If you want to make more or less of this soup, simple adjust the serving size in the ingredients section above and the servings will automatically adjust for you. This soup can store in the fridge for up to 3 days and or freeze for up to 3 months.
