I made this soup 2 days after Thanksgiving. Yesterday I made stock out of a turkey carcass and tonight made this soup from the left over meat. This is CRAZY good! I doubled the recipe and added an additional 2 cups of stock. I cooked it on the stove top for about 2 hours. These minor changes are all that I made and it turned out great! Thanks Ally for posting.

Excellent soup. I did not make this in the crock pot, but on top of the stove using precooked turkey (I used one large turkey thigh simmered and removed from the bone). I also added one cup of frozen corn for some color (just a personal preference). Also, like one of the other reviewers, I missed the lime juice and cilantro. Can't wait to try the leftovers with the cilantro and lime ~ will make a great soup even better. Thanks for posting this Ally! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

Yummy! I couldn't find turkey so I used boneless skinless chicken and I had some left over corn on the cob that I cut off the cob and threw into the soup. My husband and I really enjoyed it. I forgot the cilantro annd lime until I reread the recipe today but it was still fantastic. I even had leftovers for lunch today. Mmmmm.

Great soup! I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and cooked it on the stovetop. I doubled the recipe, and used a mix of homemade turkey stock & water until I got a more broth-based soup. My husband doesn't like super-spicy foods, so I used one can of tomatoes with mild chiles, and one can of plain diced tomatoes. Very tasty, and very South-Beach friendly!

Great soup! I made it on the stove top using black soybeans, leftover turkey and turkey stock. It is hard to believe something this easy is so delicious and relatively low carb.

Very good! I used chicken thighs instead of turkey and added red pepper flakes b/c I didn't have diced tomatos with chilis. Yum.

Really liked this, it was pretty spicy but DH and I both love that. Then to have something so simple for only 3 points what's not to like. I used chicken breast instead of turkey as that's what we could find at our small local store and increased the point value some because we thickened it a little with flour and served over white rice. Made a complete meal that we really enjoyed after a day working outside in this cool fall weather. Thanks Ally, we really enjoyed this.

Very good! I was recently diagnosed diabetic, so this fit into my meal plan , with a few minor changes. I also must watch sodium levels, so I used garlic powder instead of salt, and I pre-cooked dried beans (an eight-bean mix). I also used low sodium canned diced tomatoes and a small can of green chilis.
