This is a fabulous base recipe...like most of the other reviews, we added a can of black beans and used Rotel instead of plain tomatoes. Otherwise followed the recipe and it got rave reviews from everyone! No leftover turkey at this house!

This was a great way to use up leftover turkey. It had a wonderfully refreshing flavor - not the same old turkey soup! My whole family loved it. Will definitely make this again. I did make a couple changes, however. I made my own stock from the leftover turkey bones, rather than using four cups of vegetable broth. I also added some black beans, celery, sliced olives and peppers for some more color a vegetables. But I kept all the seasonings and other flavors the same.

First off, I HAVE to say how grateful I am to find this recipe on here!! I had more than my feel of turkey sandwiches and sick to death of turkey. This recipe has the best flavors and my husband loved it. The only change I made was the whole peeled tomatoes. I used fire roasted diced tomatoes instead and added a tablespoon of chicken bouillon crystals. Other than that, I followed the recipe down to the cornbread. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

WONDERFUL!!!! Unlike many soups, this one has plenty of flavor from day one! I rarely take time to rate recipes, but this one is a keeper. A great way to use up the less desirable leftover parts of the turkey. Like many reviewers, I found the basic recipe easily adaptable to what I had in my kitchen. (I used chicken broth, extra turkey and spices, 1 can each of fire roasted salsa tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, mild tomatoes w/ green chilis, corn, and a drained, rinsed can black beans-no avacado.) We had it "plain" (brothy) today; will wait a day or two and add sour cream and cheeses to leftovers to make it different. LOVED IT! Thanks, Doug, for sharing.

This soup was a fantastic way to use up our leftover turkey! I added corn and black beans, as well as half a block of cream cheese, my son and husband loved it.

Excelente Doug! Fabuloso tambien! :) I have been meaning to try this for quite some time and finally had some leftover turkey to do it with! The only changes I made were to sub fresh ingredients for canned/dried. I loathe canned anything, so used 6 fresh, roma tomatoes (peeled and chopped), and used some of my pickled serrano peppers that I made in August (all to eliminate all the needless sodium in canned goods). I did add 2 cups of pinto beans that I had in the freezer (dried beans that I soaked and cooked earlier) and used fresh cilantro instead of dried. With the addition of the beans, it made it that much more healthier and filling! I topped with fat-free sour cream and low-fat cheese.... I have 2 containers leftover that will be used up in the next few days, this really is an awesome flavoured soup with the ingredients used...and a MUST for this recipe is to use fresh cilantro...dried just doesn't cut it! :) Thank you again Doug for the inspiration in this dish!

I wouldn't have thought to add the lime juice on my own, but it really brightened the soup. As others have recommended, I made changes and added red pepper, black beans, corn and used only canned tomatoes (with juice.) I also added a handful of noodles, but would also love this with rice or tortilla strips. I think fresh cilantro atop this soup is key- skip the dried stuff!
