Storing and Reheating Leftovers
Store any leftover turkey soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat over low heat, either on the stovetop or at half power in the microwave, until heated through. It is important to heat it slowly and stir often to avoid the soup from separating. This Turkey Soup comes together with really simple ingredients and your cooked leftover turkey. This rich soup recipe is so delicious and is the perfect way to make you feel cozy in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
Sauté the vegetables. In a large stock pot, melt the butter and add the diced celery, carrots, onions, and garlic. Add the seasonings and cook until the vegetables are tender. Start the roux. Whisk in the flour, coating all of the vegetables. Very slowly stir in the chicken stock. Start with just a little bit, only adding more once the last bit is absorbed. Bring to a boil. Add the noodles. Cook for one minute less than what the pasta package recommends. Once the noodles are done cooking, remove the soup from the heat. Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir in the turkey, heavy cream, and corn. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper to taste.
First, make sure there are no white streaks in the pan. Whisk the flour into the butter until no white streaks remain, this eliminates the “flour taste” from the recipe. Secondly, add your chicken stock slowly, letting what you added be fully absorbed before adding more. This process doesn’t take too long but is important to go slow.

Like stated above, it is important to reheat it slowly to avoid the soap from separating. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before heating.
