Today is #NationalHomemadeSoupDay! I've been in a bit of a cooking slump lately, so I turned to the Food Holiday Calendar to help get some new ideas going. Looking through my T&T recipes, I realized that I don't make much soup. I did some searching, and I found this recipe on the Taste of Home site.
I had turkey stashed in the freezer from Christmas, and all the other ingredients except the gnocchi on hand. If you aren't a fan of gnocchi, can't find it, or don't want to make it yourself, I would recommend tortellini as a substitute.
The only change I made to this recipe was to use 6 cups of broth instead of the water/chicken base, because it's what I keep in the pantry. If you don't like peas, green beans would be great too. It's such an easy recipe to adapt and make your own, and I thank Amy B. for sharing it!

How to cook Turkey Gnocchi Soup
