CREAMY CURRIED TURKEY SOUP

I love to make soup and it always reminds me of my Mom. She has passed but I still think of her every time I make this soup. Mom was a great cook but was not a soup maker nor a baker. I wanted to learn to bake so I taught myself to bake @ a young age and then started making soups. I started w/ a simple turkey vegetable soup after turkey day and it just evolved from there. My Mom never got to taste this particular soup but she always encouraged me and was very supportive of all my dishes. I told her I learned from watching the best. Thanks Mom!

CREAMY CURRIED TURKEY

A subtle hint of curry and a snappy crunch from apple and celery make this a fun variation on the classic creamed turkey. "This is so popular at our house, I've occasionally cook a turkey just to have leftovers to make it," shares Maureen Dufraimont of Guelph, Ontario. "Spooned over biscuits, it's a nice light lunch, supper or potluck dish."
