A Soup for Your Leftover Turkey

Turkey Wild Rice Soup recipe from Allrecipes.com

You can use long grain white rice for all or part of the wild rice, but reduce simmering time to 20 to 30 minutes.

3 (10.5 oz) cans condensed chicken broth
2 cups water
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
8 slices of bacon*
1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
2 cups half & half cream**
1 1/2 cups cooked, diced turkey meat
2 Tblsp. dry sherry***

In a large pot over medium heat, combine chicken broth, water, green onions and wild rice. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, 35-40 minutes. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Allow to cool and then crumble. Set aside. When rice is tender, melt margaine in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper all at once. Cook, stirring until smooth and bubbly. Stir in half & half and cook until thickened, 2 minutes. Stir half & half mixture into rice mixture. Stir in bacon, turkey and sherry. Heat through and serve.

*I used turkey bacon
**I used milk to cut down on the fat. The soup was still thick and tasted great!
***I didn't use at all.

Enjoy!
