It’s the season for comfort food, and this recipe is just that. It’s full of veggies, seasoned wild rice, and chunks of roasted turkey – all blended in a smooth and creamy broth. This was the perfect dinner on a very cold, very windy winter day.

Turkey Rice Soup

As you might recall, I used the remains of our Christmas turkey to make stock the following day. I then put the stock, along with some left-over turkey, into the freezer so that I could use it for subsequent meals…like this!

This soup came together pretty quickly on the stove, but it had so much great flavor you would have thought that it was simmering all day. Pure comfort in a bowl!

    Well, I made this twice, now, the first time it came out thick like a stew, and then the second time I doubled the liquid and it was more of a soup, both times it was fantastic. I love this site it has great recipes to try and so far the 6 I have used have been delicious. Thank you .
