AFTER THANKSGIVING TURKEY SOUP
I made this soup the day after Thanksgiving. The recipe is from The Gourmet Cookbook. Although it appears to be time consuming, much of the preparation time is cooling the broth in the refrigerator overnight. I think this is the best turkey soup I have ever had and it has become a favorite in my house.
