Soup Continental

My mother won $500 for this soup recipe. We always had it after Thanksgiving and Christmas with the leftover turkey in it. It goes together quickly for everyday dinners as well, when we usually use chicken instead. I think it's the seasonings that make it so good, warming you right through on a cold day.
