This is now my family's most requested soup—so much so that they will make sure I have leftover turkey. You can spice up this soup and make it more hearty by adding smoked sausage or andouille and some Cajun seasoning to taste. —Gail Lucas, Olive Branch, Mississippi


Test Kitchen tips
  • If you like spicy foods, use a can of diced jalapeno peppers instead of chopped green chiles.
  • Stir in a can of black beans or pinto beans for a heartier soup.
