I love serving this savory soup to lunch guests. Italian turkey sausage gives the broth just the right spice. I never cooked much when I was growing up, so when I got out on my own, I found that great recipes like this can make anyone a good cook. -Betty Christensen, Victoria, British Columbia

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This soup was just okay. The broth was a bit bland and the vegetables were mushy.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used ground chicken instead of turkey, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
