Hearty Turkey Soup

Every year, I make the Turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. And every year, there are so many leftovers! (Better to have too much food than not enough, right?)

Instead of having the same thanksgiving meal on repeat until the leftovers are finished, this year, I decided to turn those leftovers into something slightly different. I made turkey soup!

If you think about it, pretty much all of your thanksgiving dinner elements can just be thrown into a pot with broth - carrots, potatoes, just throw them all in!

Usually, I need something to eat alongside my soup as I never really feel full with just soup alone - but not with this recipe! Both the Mister and I were full! (And he's never full after just one serving. Oh how I wish I had his metabolism.) This hearty turkey soup recipe truly eats like a meal!
