A warm and hearty soup made from leftover turkey, packed with vegetables and fragrant herbs.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups turkey or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing it to become fragrant.
  3. Combine the broth and add the shredded turkey, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer for 20 minutes to develop flavors.
  5. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  6. Season to taste and serve warm.

Notes

Any leftover turkey works great, but rotisserie chicken is a perfect substitute. Feel free to add other vegetables like green beans or spinach. Homemade broth can add extra flavor, but store-bought works just as well.
