I made this soup 2 days after Thanksgiving. Yesterday I made stock out of a turkey carcass and tonight made this soup from the left over meat. This is CRAZY good! I doubled the recipe and added an additional 2 cups of stock. I cooked it on the stove top for about 2 hours. These minor changes are all that I made and it turned out great! Thanks Ally for posting.

Excellent soup. I did not make this in the crock pot, but on top of the stove using precooked turkey (I used one large turkey thigh simmered and removed from the bone). I also added one cup of frozen corn for some color (just a personal preference). Also, like one of the other reviewers, I missed the lime juice and cilantro. Can't wait to try the leftovers with the cilantro and lime ~ will make a great soup even better. Thanks for posting this Ally! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

Yummy! I couldn't find turkey so I used boneless skinless chicken and I had some left over corn on the cob that I cut off the cob and threw into the soup. My husband and I really enjoyed it. I forgot the cilantro annd lime until I reread the recipe today but it was still fantastic. I even had leftovers for lunch today. Mmmmm.
