Maggie giving me a sad face because I wouldn't allow her a little taste of soup!
Allowing a dog to have a taste or bowl of this soup would cause severe stomach upset and even death. This is a hard no for pets!

If you are like me and my family, we make a TON of food at the holidays. I love having leftovers for the next day and I love finding creative ways to use up these leftovers. I wanted to make this soup and add chunks of potatoes which would have made this soup a thick, rich, and creamy soup but chose to leave them out. Next time I’ll add potatoes and serve this soup up in a hollowed out loaf of bread for a bread bowl!
Have leftover stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy? Layer stuffing, potatoes, and gravy in a cupcake pan, toss into the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes and you have mini side dishes to go along with your leftover turkey! Enjoy!!
