When the weather turns cold, there is nothing more comforting than a hearty bowl of turkey and vegetable soup. This classic comfort food is not only delicious, but it is also incredibly easy to make. The key to a great turkey and vegetable soup is using fresh, flavorful ingredients. You can use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, or you can roast a turkey breast specifically for this soup. Once you have your turkey, you can add any vegetables you like. Some popular choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
