My mother always prepared a holiday turkey much larger than our family could ever eat in one meal so there'd be plenty of leftovers. That's one tradition I've kept up. This hearty soup uses a lot of turkey and is great after watching football games and raking leaves. -Kathleen Harris, Galesburg, Illinois

I made this soup after, what else, Thanksgiving! It was a hit, even with my picky eaters. Simple, quick and made with ingredients I had on hand. I also omitted the peas, but went heavy on the carrots, as that is more of what my family prefers. This recipe went right out to my friends and family as well.
