This easy turkey soup recipe is pure comfort food. It’s also similar to my Creamy Chicken Rice Soup recipe (which I LOVE to have when I’m sick). I know summer time we aren’t always thinking soup for dinner – however sometimes it’s nice just to be able to pull out a container from the freezer and know a home cooked meal is good to go.
