Sara
This Leftover Turkey Wild Rice Soup is a perfect use of leftovers after Thanksgiving. I also added some cooked Bacon and made a Cashew Cream to keep this Dairy and Gluten Free! This could be the best Wild Rice Soup I have ever had!

  • Taste and add more Salt or Pepper to your liking
  • Enjoy!
