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.
