Creamy Turkey Rice Soup
This is such an easy recipe that’s the perfect use of leftover turkey (or chicken for that matter). It makes a great lunch and a wonderful dinner. If you’re serving this for dinner, add a bread or even better a side salad to make it more filling.
You can modify this recipe and add some veggies to it. Chopped carrots come to mind, but anything that’s sitting in your fridge is fair game. I’ve added cooked broccoli and cauliflower, spinach etc. to this soup.
