HEARTY TURKEY SOUP
A delicious way to use up some of that leftover turkey. You may even have leftover crudites to use for the veggies. If you are able to get turkey stock, you can sub that for the chicken broth. One 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes (or petite diced) can be subbed for the fresh tomato.

SAUSAGE BARLEY SOUP
This is a nice soup recipe with a lot of texture and flavor. It is a welcome change for those weeks when there doesn't seem to be a lot of variety... and all 3 of my kids even loved it. This can also be cooked in a pan on the stove until the barley and carrot are tender, but I prefer the slow cooker method. The flavors seem to blend better.

Tips:
- Use leftover turkey: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. But if you don't have any leftover turkey, you can also use cooked chicken or beef.
- Choose the right barley: There are two main types of barley: hulled and pearl. Hulled barley is the whole grain and takes longer to cook, but it has a chewier texture and more nutrients. Pearl barley is the refined grain and cooks more quickly, but it has a softer texture and less nutrients.
- Add your favorite vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can add any vegetables you like. Some other good options include potatoes, green beans, and peas.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade broth or a store-bought broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
- Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: This soup is hearty and filling, but it's also nice to serve it with a side of bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
This hearty barley turkey soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting soup, give this recipe a try.
