Notes

Other Thanksgiving leftover options may also include:
  • Vegetable noodle soup
  • Ham and vegetable noodle soup
  • Chicken and vegetable noodle soup
  • Beef brisket and mashed potato chowder – chop brisket, omit noodles, serve over mashed potatoes
  • Salmon {fish} and vegetable soup – just add the salmon at the end so it doesn't flake apart. Omit the noodles and add diced tomatoes and tomato paste for more of a cioppino type of soup.
  • Top with a slice of stuffing and cheese, omit noodles, for Thanksgiving version of French onion soup.
