I didn't have leeks on hand, so I substituted onions. It was a hit and a great use of our leftover turkey.

Very good. I had no leeks but I added 1/2 an onion and an extra stalk of celery. The whole fam ate it right up.

I've been making this recipe for a winter now. I've used homemade vegetable or turkey broth and used leeks or a yellow onion. It always turns out well. This is a fabulous way to use up leftover turkey from the holidays. I cube up any leftover meat and throw any leftover celery and carrots in a ziploc bag with the turkey carcass to use for broth. All of it can go into the freezer to make this soup at a later date. I like the idea of using wild rice instead of noodles to make it gluten free but I haven't had the chance to try that yet personally.

Yum, what an excellent way to use up leftover turkey. The only changes I made was I left out the bay leaves, only cause I didn't have any and didn't use any parsley. Other than that followed recipe exactly and got wonderful compliments from everyone at the table. Thanks for posting. ChefRaylene

mmm...delicious! This was almost 2 meals for my family of 3.5 next time I'll double it. I used onions instead of leeks this time around. I also used a pound of ground turkey & whole wheat egg noodles. I'll be making this again soon!

This soup was very good considering I'm not a big turkey fan. I had one large turkey leg left over from Thanksgiving and wasn't quite sure what to do with it so I tried this soup. I used an onion instead of leeks and frozen mixed vegetables instead of peas. It was a hit. Thank you for posting.

I made this with homemade turkey stock and used 1/2 an onion in place of the leeks. I also added one package of sliced mushrooms and I replaced the egg noodles with broken spaghetti. Next time, I will use the egg noodles. This is one of the best soups I have made to date. Thank you for the recipe!

Simple and delicious! I ran out of chicken broth, so I had to use half broth and half water - but it definitely didn't lack flavor. Also, we used regular elbow macaroni instead of egg noodles. Definitely a go-to noodle soup!
