Easy Creamy Turkey Vegetable Soup
When we have some extra turkey or chicken, we’re making creamy soup! Love being able to add what ever vegetables we want and making a comforting soup out of it. It’s so filling and satisfying that you can make a whole meal out of it! Just add a nice side salad and you have a fanatic low carb soup dinner in minutes. If you have leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, this soup is even easier to make! Or if you have leftover roast chicken, it’s the perfect time to make this into a creamy chicken soup.

Can You Freeze This Soup?
Yes, it’s a great make ahead and freeze recipe. We like to freeze them in small freezer safe containers. When we’re ready to eat, we plan the day ahead. Take the frozen soup out of the freezer and keep it in the fridge to thaw a bit. Then when you’re ready to re-heat, just pour it into a pot.
