I finally found a recipe that we love! To use up the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. If you want a soup on the table quickly cook in soup pot or if you want, put it in a 4 1/2 to 6 quart slow cooker after step one.

    Cover and cook on low for at least 30 minutes. If using turkey add peas (if using chicken add green beans). Cover and cook on medium for about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
