Overview
A delicious soup to make with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. We got smoked turkey this year for thanksgiving so shredded the left over turkey meat for this soup. Celery, carrots and barley adds a delicious aroma and flavor which compliments the smoked turkey. Moringa Leaf Powder which I got from GNC is a good addition to all soups. It adds its own aroma and flavor to the soup. If you like moringa leaf flavor you can use this. Hot turkey soup is good to have during this cold weather.
