Turkey Week Continues: An Easy, Creamy Soup

(note to readers: All this week I'll be sharing with you recipes and ideas of what to do with all that leftover turkey you're sure to have Friday morning. Come back everyday for a new idea!)


Turkey week is winding down. However, I still have plenty of turkey left.

Here is another quick and easy recipe. This is the quickest soup in the world to make. It's great with a sandwich and would make a nice lunch or dinner.

With everyone gearing up for Christmas and the busiest time of the year, this is a recipe that you should keep in your file. The great thing about it is that the turkey can be replaced with chicken. So if you have chicken left over, feel free to use that instead.

Nothing like hot soup on a cold day. Especially when it doesn't keep you in the kitchen all day long. Of course, no one else has to know that! I promise I won't say a word.



Cream of Turkey Soup

¼ cup butter or margarine
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup milk
½ cup light cream
3 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups finely chopped cooked turkey (or chicken)
Dash pepper

In a large saucepan melt butter or margarine; stir in flour. Stir in milk, cream and broth. Cook and stir till mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly; reduce heat. Stir in turkey or chicken and pepper; heat through. Garnish with snipped chives and parsley.

This recipe can be doubled very easily, just make sure to use a large enough pot.

Makes 4 servings

I hope the recipes I've passed along this week helped someone save time and money.

Happy Holidays!!!
