Turkey Veggie Soup

It has finally gotten colder here in Augusta. Soup is something I’ve come to love as the temp takes a dip. Mimi really loves soup, too, with corn bread. I cooked a turkey carcass which is the beginning of my turkey vegetable soup.  Simply Recipes has an easy recipe which was my inspiration. I improvised. The thyme is so delightful in this soup. You must try it.  Here is today’s soup for Mimi.
