Turkey Wild Rice Soup
So when we go to my parents’ for the holidays my family totally has turkey AND ham for Christmas & there is always leftovers so I brought some home & froze it to make something with later. I decided this soup would be the perfect opportunity to use some up. I had used most of it up doing a turkey pot pie, so there was just over a cup left, but it was the perfect amount for this soup.
This soup is creamy, full of veggies & the wild rice gives it great flavor paired with the spices. I will be making this with leftover chicken as soon as I have some because it was so yummy I can’t wait until we have turkey again!
