Since it was cold today, I decided to make some turkey soup from leftover turkey and some broth I made from the bones. I didn't have noodles so I tried the Ramen noodles and it was very tasty.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We loved being able to make such a creamy turkey noodle soup without having to add a drop of cream. It's thick and creamy with a punch of flavor. No one would ever guess that the flavor and noodles came from a pack of Ramen. Carrots and celery add a touch of freshness to the soup. A great way to use leftover turkey. Or, if you crave this not at the holidays use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Hearty and comforting, this will be perfect on a cold day.
