Creamy Turkey Vegetable Soup

Tish's Note:

In response to request. This turkey soup is a work in progress. I try to perfect whenever a turkey is cooked. There is usually a bit of meat left over on the carcus, which we debone and cut up the meat...then make this soup and soup with the carcus!

This is really good. I omitted the sweet potatoes and added 6 or 8 cloves of minced garlic and 2 cans of cream of chicken soup. Delicious.

A great use for leftovers! I added garlic, left out the sweet potato & added some sweet corn. This is a lovely soup & a great way to use leftovers.

I started with your recipe as the beginning to my soup. To make the turkey broth I used Orrington Farms turkey base, as I'm pretty much too lazy to make my own stock! I had a container in the freezer that had been collecting extras of potatoes and veggies- so I threw that in, it was combo of sweet potatoes, red potatoes, russets and green beans. I left out the celery since I don't care for it. And lasty, I forgot to buy cream, so I added 1/2 cup of Healthy Substitute for Cream of Chicken Soup. What a great way to use up some leftover turkey from the Thanksgiving feast!
