Turkey soup

This was a new recipe for me to try this week. It was really good and a freat way to use the leftover turkey meat from Thanksgiving. I got the recipe from:

She even gives instruction on how to make the homemade Chicken Broth. I had already had my Turkey Broth and you can use store bought Chicken Broth.


What you need:
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 medium onion, minced
1 large carrot, peeled and minced
1 large stalk celery, minced
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 bay leaf
1 cup trimmed green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cups shredded or cubed turkey meat
2 quarts chicken broth

What to do:
 In a large soup pot, heat olive oil and heat garlic cloves until lightly browned. Add minced onion, carrot, celery and sweet potatoes. Sauté over medium-low heat until softened, about 7 or 8 minutes.
 Add chopped sage to the soup pot along with the turkey broth and the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. When simmering, add green beans and turkey meat to the soup. Bring it back up to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 more minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender.
