Probably more than 6 servings and takes longer at high altitude.

The tomatoes prevailed in the soup. The taste of the turkey was missing.

Delicious Soup, Everyone loved it. I used 3 turkey thighs, cooked them in my pressure cooker, then took them out of the broth, took meat off of the bones, cut up. Put the broth in a bigger pot added the vegetables and spices, cooked them till done added the peas and corn and orzo pasta. Served it with cornbread. My DH and the grandkids loved it. I will also be making it with chicken we love soup. Thank you for such a good recipe.
