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!

Place Cashews in a heat safe dish and cover them with boiling water
Set aside, this will be used to make the cream later (they need to soak for at least 30 min so it's timed perfectly while the soup is cooking)
Add Bacon to 6 quart Dutch Oven and heat over med heat on stovetop
Cook until desired crispiness 5-10 min
Remove Bacon and place on paper towels to drain, once cooled cut into bite size pieces
Leave the Bacon grease in the pan and add Carrots, Celery, Onion, and Garlic
Sauté 3-4 minutes
Add Wild Rice, Chicken Broth, and seasonings
Cover and simmer on med/low heat for 30 minutes stirring occasionally
Add Cashews and the water they were soaking into a Vitamix or high speed blender
Blend until creamy
Add the Cashew Cream, Mushrooms, Bacon and cooked Turkey to the soup and cook 15 more minutes or until Rice is done
Taste and add more Salt or Pepper to your liking
Enjoy!
I used homemade Turkey Broth, if you use store bought the nutritional value will be different for the sodium.
