This Bacon Egg Potato Turkey Leftover Soup is better the second time around!
I am not kidding when I tell you that this soup is almost better the second time around. It is a meal in itself and is so well liked by my family that I purposely make extra mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving so we could have this soup on Friday. It is now a tradition that everyone looks forward to. As much as the the creamy potato soup and shredded turkey could stand on it’s own, the true superstars are the egg and bacon. They totally take this Bacon Egg Potato Turkey Leftover Soup to a new level!
Give it a shot this year after your big Thanksgiving dinner and let me know if your family likes it as much as mine.
