Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Rice Soup Instructions

Peel, and rinse potatoes and carrots. Cube the potatoes (I rinse the cubed potatoes once more to get rid of the starch), slice the smaller half of each carrot and grate the larger end. Set aside until ready for use.

Into a large castiron pot add water, 3 bay leaves, and ½ tsp. of sea salt. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, add cubed potatoes, and sliced carrots.

Also, add leftover Thanksgiving turkey meat, chicken bullion and let it simmer for 10 min.

While the soup is simmering saute carrots. Heat a small frying pan over medium heat, add shredded carrots, 1 tbsp. of olive oil, salt, Mrs. Dash seasoning, and garlic salt. Saute for 5 minutes stirring every minute or so.

Add saute carrots to the soup, well-rinsed rice, and let it simmer for 10 more minutes. Then add parsley and dill.

Remove soup pot from heat and let it rest for 20 minutes before serving.
