Creamy Mexican Turkey Soup
I happened upon this soup recipe by accident. Cleaning out my freezer, I found a leftover package of Thanksgiving turkey. I had grand ideas of baking a turkey pot pie and this recipe was somehow in that category on Pinterest. I am so glad I did find it though. Since finding this recipe a few weeks ago, I have made it three times, and each time with a different smoked meat (turkey, pork loin and brisket). This soup got two thumbs up from even my pickiest eater in the family. Make this soup! You won’t be disappointed
