Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a soup pot and add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 4-6 minutes.
  2. Add the leftover turkey, bay leaves, and broth. Simmer the soup for 30 minutes, then stir in the orzo and peas.
  3. Cook for 10 more minutes, or until the orzo is done.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • To store: Seal in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days. Rewarm leftovers in a large pot on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding a bit more broth or water, as needed. You can also reheat this soup in the microwave until hot. 
  • To freeze: Place in a freezer-safe airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Be sure to label the soup with the date, so you know when it went into the freezer. Let thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
