2 lbs turkey breast, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. This is a great way to customize your soup to your own taste. Some good options include salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you can, use homemade broth, but store-bought broth can also be used.
  • Cook the soup on low heat for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. If you're short on time, you can cook the soup on high heat for a shorter period of time, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good options include croutons, crackers, cheese, and sour cream.
