One of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions is simmering the turkey carcass with veggies and some Penzey’s Turkey Soup Base to make homemade turkey stock, and then turning that stock into delicious turkey soup!

Your house will smell amazing while the turkey stock simmers, and low-carb turkey soup is perfect to make after Thanksgiving, so I’m reminding you of these turkey soup options just in case you have leftover turkey this year. I hope you’ll turn some of that turkey into delicious turkey soup, or try some of these tasty soup recipes with chicken if you don’t have any turkey.

Turkey Soup or Chicken Soup?

And any soup recipe made with diced chicken or ground turkey can also be made with leftover turkey, so I’m including some of those in this collection of favorite soups. For the recipes that use cooked chicken, just switch that out for leftover turkey (and use homemade Turkey Stock if you have some) For the soups with ground turkey, check the recipe to see how to substitute.
