Made as written this is only spicy tomato soup with a bit of chicken in it. Has some potential, but there are plenty of other soups that provide a a better base.

This is such an easy, fantastic recipe. I have made it exactly according to the recipe and have also made it adding corn. Both ways are delicious. It also freezes well. This is my most used soup recipe.

This recipe was really good! I only put in about a pinch of the pepper (I used chipoltle chile pepper) and I added a can of hominy corn. I also pre-cooked the onion and garlic in a little olive oil. My husband and kids thought it was fantastic. It was also VERY easy. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

One of my favourite soup recipes! Great to use with leftover turkey or chicken. I don't usually have veg. broth on hand so I always use chicken broth. Super quick and easy to make. Avocado and fresh cilantro make this soup outstanding! Be sure to try this one!!

Loved this soup! I did, however, make some changes. I added a can of corn and a can of black beans. I also used fresh cilantro instead of dried. Makes a huge difference to use fresh!! Have also made it with chicken when there was no left over turkey! Fiance loves it!!

The soup is so delicious! Even my husband who is not a soup fan said it's phenomenal. I made a couple of changes - I substituted leftover homemade turkey stock for the vegetable; can of spicy rotel tomatoes for the roma tomatoes; added chili powder and a chicken bouillon cube as well. Before mixing the ingredients in the pot I sauteed the onions, garlic and chiles in extra virgin olive oil to carmalize. Awesome results and we will be making this again soon!

I had some smoked turkey left over and used that I Liked the spices the way they and so did my family. I added more meat and I did add a can of hominey instead of corn and beans to give it that true southwestern/hispanic flavor. It is a simple recipe that is tasty. I didn't have time to make cornbread or even gorditas but I will next time my family has said that this is a keeper recipe and that is a big complement coming from them especally from my son who is studying culinary arts. Remember to always add a little spice to life that is what make it exciting. Thank you Doug Matthews.

What a different way to use the turkey from T-day! I changed it a bit (as ususal) I sauteed celery w/a bunch of jarred garlic in evoo, then added the turkey, reg.size can of diced tomatoes,(didnt understand using whole canned tomatoes) 32oz box of chix broth, a drained can of black beans, 1/2 a beer I was drinking :),squeeze of lime juice, and about 1/2 cup of creamed corn leftover (I'd recommend a splash of cream/whole milk to thicken and cut the green chili spice if you dont like it spicy) and a tad of frozen corn, another tad of frozen okra, cumin and chili powder, can of green chilis.. then finished it w/ stirring in chopped green onions (either add them early, or late otherwise they just taste wierd) also fresh cilantro last 15 mins. Super Yummy!! I put some cayenne pepper in my bowl only since I was feeding the kids. Shredded the monterey jack atop and served w/ tortilla chips. Everyone totally loved it! Wouldn't have guessed it was leftover Thanksgiving. After all the turkey..stuffing..mshd pots.. this was a great change w/out wasting $$. Thanks for the awesome post!!

I added a can of black beans and corn from an other reviewer's advice, and I used turkey stock because it was what I had on hand. I also used the avocado and cilantro as a topper for the fresh taste. It was really good.

I used 8 cups of turkey broth (but I didn't increase the red pepper and it was plenty spicy)...I did increase the cumin. I didn't have the fresh tomatoes, but it was fine anyway.

I served this over crushed tortilla chips and used jalapeños instead of green chilis. Will make again. Good base.

Thought this recipe was a great switch from Turkey ala King. Husband loved it as I thought he might since he could add Tortilla chips to it. I cooked it in a crock pot about six hours. Used hotter japelenos, black beans and corn, shredded cheddar, it was very good. I've learned two new essentials (including a dressing recipe) for the holidays from this site.

There was something wierd about this recipe. I haven't figured it out yet, but my daughter has required me to promise I'll make this again and again so I guess it was a success. This could be thickened into more of a chili by adding refried beans.

OK, did I miss something in the directions? I added my can of whole peeled tomatoes to the pot, and they remained "whole" throughout the cooking process. I had to scoop them out and dice them up and return them to the pot. The flavors are very interesting and it's not too spicy. I thought it would be a bit less chunky. I will make it again. I think adding corn to it sounds great, just didn't have any. Certainly better than the typical turkey rice soup for leftover!

Last month I slightly overcooked a turkey tenderloin that had been marinated in lime and tequila. I didn't want to serve it to company and I didn't want to throw it out so I wrapped it in foil and threw it in the freezer until I could figure out what to do with it. Along came this recipe and I knew I had found a home for my poor turkey tenderloin. Since the turkey had already been marinated in lime, I didn't add the lime, but I added the fresh cilantro, corn and beans as others suggested. Wow! This is a do over, which is high praise in this house.

My fiance and I really liked this soup. Since we like spicy things, I doubled the amount of chiles and cayenne pepper. We didn't have shredded turkey, so I bought the ground turkey and browned it. We've made it a few times. It was really good.

This recipe is a great starter, to modify to your liking. I used turkey broth, added black beans, corn and used fresh cilantro. I put it in the crock pot on high for 4 hours, then low until served. I'll be making this after every turkey!
