The perfect leftover soup, this Creamy Turkey Noodle Soup is ideal for Thanksgiving leftovers, but is a great way to use up leftover chicken, as well!

Don’t let the unassuming look of this soup above fool you. Sure, it looks like your run of the mill noodle soup. But let me just tell you about this soup…

I made this on a weeknight. It looked like a TON of soup, so I called up my sister to see if she wanted half of it to feed her family that night. She said yes, so I saved half of it for her. My mom and dad were going to be out and about, so they each just took a mug full with them. And then my family ate. The bowl was completely empty. I really liked it, and so did my family. Later, my mom couldn’t stop talking about it. A couple of weeks later was my dad’s birthday, and so my mom invited everyone over for soup and pie to celebrate. She asked for my recipe because she liked this soup so much. (She made it with chicken). At the end of the night, people were wanting to take home soup leftovers instead of pie leftovers!!

The next day, my mom asked for the recipe again, wanting to add it to her recipe favorites box. That right there is all the confirmation I need that I have a good recipe on my hands. Sure, she has liked a lot of the things that I have made, but this is one of the very few that is worthy of a spot in her coveted recipe box!!

With Thanksgiving only a week away, you are definitely going to want to have some turkey leftovers for this soup!!
