Savory Turkey & Sweet Potato Soup Recipe Is the Holidays In a Bowl (8 Ingredients, 30 Minutes) by Elisa Schmitz

Thank goodness for soup season! If you're a soup lover like me, then you love this time of year. I love to make soup and, during the holidays, there are so many extra-special ingredients to put into it. After Thanksgiving, I found myself in the wonderful position of having not only leftover turkey but also some unused sweet potatoes. Enter this easy turkey and sweet potato soup recipe. It's like the holidays in a bowl!

To me, a good soup is all about flavor and nutrition. There’s nothing more soothing than a steaming bowl of soup, so it may as well taste as amazing as it feels. This savory turkey and sweet potato soup recipe is loaded with the health benefits of turkey and the health benefits of sweet potatoes (not to mention plenty of other vegetables).

You need only eight ingredients to make this soothing soup: extra virgin olive oil, sweet potatoes, onion, celery, broccoli, garlic, chicken broth and cooked turkey. You simply simmer the vegetables then add the turkey and serve it up, all in only about 30 minutes.

I served this flavorful gluten-free soup with a fresh parsley garnish, and we all agreed that it was the best way to enjoy our Thanksgiving bounty all over again!
