Chunky Turkey and Rice Soup

Fiona Haynes
My favorite way to enjoy leftover turkey is to use it in soup. I make all kinds of soup, but this is one of my favorites. It's pretty much a meal in itself. Of course, this soup works equally well with leftover roast chicken.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1 large stalk celery, halved lengthwise, then sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 tsp salt-free poultry seasoning
  • 4 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 14.5 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 2 cups cooked white-meat turkey, torn into chunks

Preparation:

Heat oil on medium heat in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Add onions, celery, and carrots and sauté until onions are softened. Stir in seasoning and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add broth and crushed tomatoes, followed by rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender. Stir in turkey and cook for 2 minutes more, until turkey is hot.

Serves 6-8
