As much as we relish our Thanksgiving meal every year, I look forward to left overs and finding all sorts of creative ways to serve them. I first made this soup by combining fresh turkey stock with leftover turkey chunks and my scrumptious turkey stuffing. You can throw this recipe together in less than 5 minutes if by doing the same. Or make it from scratch by following this easy recipe.
Enjoy!

Omg, this looks bomb! I love turkey any time of the year and even though the days have been warm where I live at hot soup is still a welcome sight at this time of the year.
