- Simmer the turkey slowly: This will help to extract the flavor from the turkey and make a delicious broth.
- Add vegetables and herbs: This will help to add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Season the soup to taste: Salt and pepper are essential, but you may also want to add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good choices include noodles, rice, croutons, or a dollop of sour cream.
