Report

Share:
Ingredients
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 ribs celery chopped
- 1 can red kidney beans drained
- 1 box wild rice (about 1- 1 ⅓ cups)
- 2-3 cups shredded cooked turkey breast (leftover thanksgiving turkey works great for this, or shredded chicken works as well)
- 2-3 cups water as needed
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional: fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- In a large stock pot combine chicken broth, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, celery, kidney beans, and wild rice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cover and cook 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and fully cooked.
- Stir in shredded turkey (or chicken), salt and pepper to taste, and water as needed until soup reaches desired consistency. (This won't change the thickness of the broth, but since the rice absorbs a lot of the chicken broth, you'll want to add more liquid to keep that soup consistency rather than a chili-like consistency)
- Cook about 5 minutes longer until turkey is hot throughout.
- Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.
Notes
- This is a great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Rotisserie or leftover shredded chicken works great too!
