Instructions

Add the first six ingredients (oil through celery) to a large stock pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Sauté, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes.
Add the garlic, salt, and herbs and continue sauteeing for 2 minutes.
Pour in the broth and leftover turkey and bring soup to a full boil. Reduce heat, cover the pot, and cook at a very gentle boil for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked through.
Serve heaping bowls and enjoy!

Notes

*Add broth to your desired consistency. I like hearty soups with less broth, so I use 4 cups of broth. For soupier soups, add more broth to your liking. You can also use any kind of homemade or store-bought stock or broth you like! I always recommend sticking with homemade turkey bone broth.
