Craftscout's Leftover Turkey Soup image

The best part of Thanksgiving: leftovers! :) 2007 update: This is still the best soup I have ever made and the secret really is the sweet potato. This year I saved about a cup of green beans from making the green bean casserole, and added them in to the soup about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 sweet potato, chopped
1 -2 lb leftover cooked turkey, chopped
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Chop your veggies and turkey into roughly bite sized pieces.

  • Add the celery, carrot, sweet potato, and turkey. Cook about five minutes.
