I don't know, a lot of people don't like turkey soup, but I do. But I keep it simple, the turkey, onions, some of the gravy and mashed potatoes to add flavor and a little bit of thickening power, add my favorite noodles and a little chicken flavoring if needed, salt and pepper. Nice, simple, cozy soup. And it is cold here and is supposed to stay cold with 80% chance of rain for the next couple of days.
