Very good with a few changes. Used 2 cups of turkey, added black beans and replaced the chiles with a fresh jalapeno. You can also add corn.

Very flavorful soup! It was too hot for my family so I added 2tsp lemon juice to counteract the cayenne pepper. Also, I added the turkey last so I could strain the chunky veggies out with a slotted spoon after they cooked soft. Then I used my Braun wand mixer to puree them smooth before I added them back to the pot. Then added the turkey and the result was a consistency that was perfect for my picky crew! Thanks for a great way to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving.

We LOVED it! Such a great healthy recipe. We made stock from the rest of the turkey, and it was so good. I left out the avocado. I think that tortilla chips with this would be great!

I give this five stars with the changes I made. I followed CookinMommy1's directions for the most part, though I forgot to add the cilantro and added the cheese and sour cream to individual portions. My son thought the tomato pieces were too big, so next time I will use petite diced tomatoes, I will also use a little less broth next time, as I thought it was a little watery. Maybe just 3 cups. I cooked it in the slow cooker for 6 hours.

I literally just made this and I am loving my first bowl! I make a similiar soup with chicken so I automatically tweaked this recipe to be like this chicken soup my famill loves. I love flavor so I sauteed the onion and garlic first until translucent and then added everything right on top. I used juice of a whole lime. At least a tablespoon of salt, some coarse black pepper and I added a can of black beans. I also added more cumin skipped the cilantro because I had none and I added at least an additional cup of turkey as I wanted to use as much leftover as I could. I left out the avocado all together for my husbands taste. I crushed a handful of tortilla chips into the bottom of the bowl and used pepper-jack cheese with last but not least a generous spoon of sour cream on top. Yum! Next time I plan to add some hominy and maybe some canned or frozen corn.

superb! such a nice change from classic "turkey frame soup". I used a dollop of sour cream rather than the monterey jack cheese and used chopped fresh cilantro - so much better than dried! This is a keeper. Thanks!

Wow! My entire family of four loved this soup. My girls are very picky eaters. My 4yr old gives us a problem eating her dinner nearly every night. She gobbled this down and even lifted her bowl to drink the soup at the bottom of her bowl. My oldest ate the onions and she knew they were in there. She NEVER eats onions. My husband and I made yummy sounds through it all and had seconds and thirds. What I did differently was that I used the turkey broth from Thanksgiving that I had frozen in the freezer instead of buying vegetable broth. I also used Goya Adobo seasoning (with pepper) instead of just salt and pepper. Ah, and I didn't have cayenne pepper so I used paprika instead.

This was yummy! I used 48 oz can of chicken broth instead of veggie stock... As suggested by someone else, increased the lime juice and used the juice of the whole lime. I also threw in a can of drained corn and a can of cilantro lime Rotel. Somehow I was out of cilantro so substituted basil. Pepper jack cheese added a little more spice. Topped with a little sour cream... Mmmm do over for sure!
