SOPA DE CALABACIN Y GUAJOLOTE (ZUCCHINI AND TURKEY SOUP)
When my mom and I were cleaning out one of her kitchen cabinets, we found a box of recipes that she had clipped from newspapers and magazines. This one came from an article in the Houston Post (no longer in circulation), October 1989. The article was about traditional Mexican soup dishes and contained several wonderful and authentic recipes. Great for using turkey stock made from Thanksgiving leftovers, but I'm sure it would work with chicken stock too.
