I was honored when my fireman son-in-law asked to add this recipe to their firehouse cookbook. You can prepare parts of this turkey soup ahead of time and then assemble when ready. Serve with crispy whole-grain crackers. —Carol Perkins, Washington, Missouri

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, cubed
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 celery rib, finely chopped

From one Missouri cook to another, this was delicious! I added a little chopped onion along with the carrots and celery and I didn't have carrots to shred, so I just added about half a bag of frozen carrots (sliced) in with the celery and onion. So good and very easy to make.

We made this tonight with leftover turkey breast that we roasted in the slow cooker with thyme. We did not use the butter nor the cheese in this recipe and we only had skim milk on hand so no half and half only skim milk for cream. It was nice and light and had good flavor.

A very easy soup and incredibly tasty! I didn't even have leftovers the first time I made it! I'll be making this again soon!
