This may be my favorite Cook Smarts recipe ever! This soup was absolutely delicious! We used leftover Thanksgiving Turkey.
0 HelpfulI took someone's recommendation and swapped the peas for chard. I only had milk on hand, but would try coconut milk next time, as well! My daughter does not like carrots, which is a bummer, since they are featured in almost every soup!
0 HelpfulMade with the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. Basically a turkey pot pie soup. Great for cold days!
0 HelpfulDelicious! Made it in the Instant Pot with sausage. Very easy to throw together and tastes even better the next day!
0 HelpfulGood flavor! I did it in the instant pot with the soup button. I added a bag of frozen green beans as well and think that without that it wouldn’t have been hearty enough for us. Overall we enjoyed it!
0 HelpfulAbsolutely delicious! I took the lazy way and turned instructions 1 through 4 from the "Make" section and instead dumped everything into our Instant Pot and set it to "Soup." After that completed, I stirred in the cream and upon serving, topped with (in our case) turkey bacon. Superb!
