Obligatory Day After Soup
November 23, 2007
And at the risk of looking like a food blog, albeit a food blog from someone who doesn’t actually like to cook.
To be completely honest this was from a bird we made last weekend and I saved the carcass for just this purpose, since I knew that we were going elsewhere for the day. The only thing I love about cold weather is soup.

Good stuff - and gluten-free!
November 23rd, 2007 at 11:56 pmWould I be a bad “homemaker” if I said I have never made day-after soup? I will next year…that looks great!
November 24th, 2007 at 12:20 amyum - i’m a huge winter-soup fan too!
November 24th, 2007 at 1:39 amSoup here too…the bird was so big my daughter and I had to break the carcass to fit in the crock pot…but worth the trouble to have soup today…even though it is still warm in the daytime here.
November 24th, 2007 at 2:51 amHomemade soup is awesome. That picture is yummy. I can near taste it. Perhaps I will roast a chicken since for me thanksgiving was in October.
November 24th, 2007 at 4:26 amOne of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers, especially the soup. In my book the pot of soup simmering on the stove puts the finishing touches on the holiday.

November 24th, 2007 at 6:49 amI always have intentions of making carcass soup…but invariably the thing sits in the fridge until it re-animates itself and jumps into the garbage can.
November 24th, 2007 at 9:29 amsaved the carcass… that sounds so gross!!! hahaha… and no, i’m not a vegan.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:28 amI love me a good winter soup, too. I have a great stew recipe that calles for chunks of beef and a bottle of Guiness. Does it get better than that? It’s always a good night when the windows are steamed from a boiling soup on the stovetop.
November 24th, 2007 at 10:37 ami love your blog, your awesome sese of humor and writing style… can you please not change? PLEASE!?
November 24th, 2007 at 10:59 amIt looks great. The majority of turkey left overs will be going into a turkey pot pie tonight but I think the rest I will make a soup tomorrow.
November 24th, 2007 at 11:31 amYum! Soup.
November 24th, 2007 at 11:54 amLast night I made turkey quesadillas. And this morning I made ham omelette’s.
Oh, and I also had a bagel with cream cheese and my FIL’s famous cranberry sauce. Yum!
Looks yummy! I’ll be making some tomorrow!
November 24th, 2007 at 2:55 pmHa! That’s totally a food blog photo, but just because it’s so lovely.
We haven’t made the soup yet… still gorging on sides because I made a buttload!
Sandwiches next.
Than soup.
Yes, I made a HUGE FREAKIN’ TURK.
November 24th, 2007 at 4:05 pmWe had soup yesterday too. It tasted so good as the snow fell outside.
November 24th, 2007 at 4:50 pmWe didn’t do carcass soup, but we did make this yesterday, using leftover turkey in place of the chicken called for (just in case you have MORE turkey you want to use up):
Mexican 2-Bean Chicken Chili
1 medium zuccini, coarsely chopped ( about 1 1/4 cups)
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed (I subbed chili beans for these)
1 can (15 oz.) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (8 3/4 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained (I had frozen corn, so I used it)
2 cans (14 1/2 oz.) chicken broth
1 jar (16 oz.) thick and chunky mild salsa
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
3 cups shredded/diced cooked chicken
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 1/2-2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, crushed corn or tortilla chips, sliced green onions, fresh cilantro
Combine all ingredients except for toppings in large pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
November 24th, 2007 at 6:00 pmLOL… NO SOUP HERE!!!!
I did Chicken Ranch Pizza… only used turkey of course. I would tell you the recipe is on blog post from yesterday except it has wheat… and dairy… and all the other stuff that would make you swell up like a big fat balloon.
But - it’s there if you want to make it for the kiddos and husband! It’s yummy - Just don’t snitch any and go into shock and blame me!
November 25th, 2007 at 10:47 amlove your blog- and your other one too- love the toy ideas. just wanted to tell you that the picture of this soup caused me to get up off my rear and make it for my family for saturday’s lunch- thank you!
