Quick and Healthy Turkey Veggie Soup image

I freeze our leftover turkey at the holidays so we can enjoy meals like this year-round. This soup is especially delicious on a chilly fall or winter day. If you're looking for a dish that's more filling, add some cooked pasta. -Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of turkey. The soup was still very tasty.
