Turkey Bacon Soup Recipe

As requested over many years, here's my favorite use for leftover Christmas or Thanksgiving turkey. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family has! 


4 cups chicken broth
2 c. water
½ c. chopped green onions
½ c. uncooked rice
8 slices bacon
½ c. butter
¾ c. flour
½ t. salt
¼ t. poultry seasoning
¼ t. black pepper
2 c. half & half cream
1 ½ c. cooked & diced turkey meat

In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, water, green onions and rice. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer about 35 minutes. In a large skillet cook the bacon, allow to cool then crumble & set aside.

When the rice is tender melt the butter in a medium saucepan over med-low heat. Stir in flour salt, poultry seasoning and pepper. Cook and stir until smooth and bubbly. Stir in half & half cream until thickened – about 2 minutes. Stir cream mixture into rice mixture, add turkey and bacon, heath through and serve. Great with warmed, crusty bread.
