Ingredients

Chopped parsley
1 tsp. Lemon zest
1 tbsp. Lemon juice
1 tbsp. Organic chicken base
6 cups Chicken broth
1/4 cup Uncooked rice
2 cups Leftover turkey white or dark meat is fine
3 Thyme stems
2 Large celery ribs, chopped into half moons
2 Large carrots, peeled and chopped into half moons
1 Large onion, diced
1 tbsp. Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced

Method

01

Throw all your veggies into a pot with olive oil heated to medium heat and let them sweat for about 5-10 minutes.
02

No need for color here so feels free to cover with a lid. And do season with salt and pepper. Feel free to add some minced garlic as well.
03

Pour in about 6-7 cups of chicken broth into the pot. Add in a handful of parsley stems. I just feel like they make all the flavor difference.
04

While the soup is bubbling away, shred the turkey. Add the rice and continue simmering.
05

Let the soup simmer away for about 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Add in the organic chicken base. Add it in 1 tbsp at a time, making sure you mix it well each time until the desired flavor is achieved.
06

Add in the juice of a lemon and taste. Now pour yourself a hearty bowl of soup and slurp away the hard days!
