Turkey & Vegetable Ginger Soup

Hey there! I don’t know what’s better than warm soup on a cold day. Winter has finally decided to show up here in Idaho and I’ve been making this Turkey Vegetable Ginger soup on repeat. It’s one of my favorites packed full of protein and SO many veggies.

I love soups as they are wonderful for warming up the body and easy on the stomach. The extra added ginger is great for the gut! This is a healthy dinner meal for the entire family. My boys love the soup with a slice of homemade sourdough bread. I tend to make it on a Sunday so I have leftovers for the week!

See below for a list of ingredients and steps to make.
