Turkey and Stuffing Soup - Turkey Day Leftovers

What to do with the Thanksgiving leftovers? I love stuffing and I love turkey, so I searched for a soup recipe that combined both and found this one on the Food Network. It was really simple and quick. And tasted pretty good too! I cut the recipe in half since I didn't have as much turkey and stuffing as it called for - I was lucky to get what I got! The stuffing seemed to go fast this year - and I had doubled the recipe!

The ingredients were simple - turkey, stuffing, broth, carrots, onions, celery and a bay leaf.

The stuffing went into the oven at 350 degrees to warm up and get kind of crispy & crunchy. Didn't want it to be soggy in the soup. Then I chopped up some onions, celery and carrots. The veggies went into the pot to sauté with some olive oil.

Once the veggies were softened, I added a whole carton of chicken stock, a bay leaf, and brought to a boil. Once boiling, chopped up some turkey (dark meat of course, the best kind!) and added that to the pot to simmer for 10 minutes.

Then it was time to assemble the soup. Put a big scoop of stuffing into your bowl first. Then ladle the soup around the stuffing. And that's it! Soup's on!
