I love soup. I love cooking soup. So I used my Christmas turkey left-overs for soup.

* turkey - cut up into small bits.
* chicken broth
* 4 stalks celery - chopped
* carrots - chopped
* 1 small onion - chopped, sauteed
* mushrooms - chopped
* two cloves of garlic, crushed
* black pepper (roughly 1 1/2 teaspoons)
* parsley (roughly 1 teaspoon)
* oregano (roughly 1 teaspoon)
* 2 bay leaves
* cumin (roughly 1 teaspoon)
* chipolte chili pepper seasoning (roughly 1/2 teaspoon)


I didn't measure the seasonings - I used about a teaspoon of them all - maybe a bit more the black pepper, and a bit less of the chipolte. The cumin and chipolte will make the soup spicy, so feel free to not add them, they're not essential to the over all soup.

Throw all the meat, veggies, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, parsley and oregano into a saucepan, and simmer on low heat for an hour or two (pretty much until the smell drives you crazy.) Add the cumin and chipolte, and let simmer for 20 more minutes.

Good eating!
