Keep Thanksgiving going with this leftover turkey soup

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:46:21 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesFor soup enthusiasts across America, the post-Thanksgiving turkey broth can be as sacred as the holiday meal itself. In many households, even before the dishes and the leftovers are packed away, the turkey carcass and trimmings are nestled into a pot of water for their hourslong simmer. Leftover turkey soup is a cozy way to keep Thanksgiving’s bountiful spirit going for several more meals.This recipe leans toward the heartier, stick-to-your-ribs side of the soup spectrum. Chickpeas and farro give it a nubby texture that can be thick and stewlike, although it can also be thinner and brothier if you add more liquid.Because there’s already so much going on in the pot, this soup can take as much or as little shredded leftover turkey as you are willing to spare from your sandwich reserve — from a couple of cups to a quart. Then again, if you run out, shredded cooked chicken works just as well.Related ArticlesRestaurants, Food and Drink | ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:46:21 GMT

If there was one word to describe your favorite NFL team’s stadium, would it be “bougie?” According to Merriam-Webster, “bougie” (pronounced boo-gee and alternatively spelled "boujee") is defined as “marked by a concern for wealth, possessions and respectability.” As it turns out, every professional football stadium has a certain “bougie score,” according to new research by online gaming experts at Casino.org.  New study shows which days Lakers and Clippers are most likely to win Researchers used several metrics to come to their conclusion on the "bougiest" stadium, including stadium capacity, the number of luxury suites, how many bathrooms and concession stands are in the stadium and the overall cost of construction. Each stadium was given a score between 0 and 100, with 100 being the most "bougie." Based on their findings, L.A.’s very own SoFi Stadium came out with a weighted “bougie score” of 100. A general view of the interior of SoFi Stadium is seen...
