Thanksgiving Soup




I LOVE Thanksgiving leftovers and every year I make an awesome leftover soup.  It's healthy and comforting and you can freeze it in individual containers and enjoy it on a night when there is no time to cook :)

Now usually I don't measure this out I just throw things in so I have no specific measurements.  I am giving you the approximate measurements and you can adjust them to your tastes.


2 cups leftover turkey - mostly dark meat - shredded or chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 scoops of stuffing (my stuffing has sausage in it and that adds to the flavor)
3 tablespoons turkey gravy
1/2 cup Chardonnay
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon chicken seasoning
Salt and pepper ONLY if needed - everything should be pretty seasoned already.

Throw it all in a slow cooker on high for 5 hours or low for 8 and enjoy with the rest of that Chardonnay ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I'm back! It has been a while but I have been super-busy trying to make a living, scrambling to get a new used car, welcoming my new niece into the world and getting over hurricane Sandy and I have been slacking on my blog :(
I hope everyone had a fun turkey day! I had a massive 25.7 lb. bird and a ton of leftover turkey which is exactly what I wanted - I am a roast turkey addict, it is my favorite food. Stay tuned for slow-cooker turkey soup tomorrow!
