Spice It Up Soup

  Soups

My husband really enjoys this turkey soup, so I make plenty and freeze what's left over in individual servings for his lunches. The original recipe called for a lot of butter and three cooking pots. I eliminated the butter and tossed the ingredients together in just one pot.
